Uncoupling of biliary phospholipid and cholesterol secretion in mice with reduced expression of mdr2 P-glycoprotein
Mice in which the gene for mdr2 P-glycoprotein has been disrupted have a severe deficiency in biliary phospholipid and cholesterol secretion. We studied the relation between mdr2 gene expression and biliary lipid secretion with emphasis on the role of bile salt hydrophobicity. Control mice (+/+), an...
