Genetic factors at the enterocyte level account for variations inintestinal cholesterol absorption efficiency among inbred strains of mice1

Interindividual and interstrain variations in cholesterol absorptionefficiency occur in humans and animals. We investigated physiological biliaryand small intestinal factors that might determine variations in cholesterolabsorption efficiency among inbred mouse strains. We found that there weresignif...
