Regulation of gene expression and synthesis and degradation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase by micellar cholesterolin CaCo-2 cells.

To investigate whether, and by what mechanisms, luminal (dietary) cholesterol regulates cholesterol synthesis in human intestinal cells, HMG-CoA reductase activity, gene expression, synthesis, and degradation were investigated in CaCo-2 cells exposed to taurocholate micelles containing cholesterol....
