## Abstract The specific activity of HMG‐CoA reductase, the major rate‐limiting enzyme in the sterol biosynthetic pathway, declined linearly with increasing cell density in four different lines of mammalian cell cultures. As expected, this caused the rates of sterol synthesis from [^14^C]acetate to

3-hydroxy,3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors reduce biliary cholesterol saturation index (CSI) in duodenal bile in hypercholesterolemic patients and might be useful for gallstone dissolution. However, preliminary data suggest that these drugs are not effective in this respect
We investigated hepatic cholesterol homeostasis in four homozygous sitosterolemic subjects from two unrelated families who showed enhanced absorption, diminished removal and increased tissue and plasma concentrations of sitosterol (24-ethyl cholesterol). Measurements of hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglu
