Abstract:
:The effect of 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one, a potent inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis with marked hypocholesterolemic activity, on the intestinal absorption of exogenous cholesterol has been studied in lymph-cannulated rats. Administration of the 15-ketosterol at a level of 0.05% in a rat chow diet for 10 days was associated with a marked decrease (-64%) in the absorption of cholesterol.
