Studies on the link between HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase in lymph-fistula rats: evidence for both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms for down-regulation of the two enzymes by bile acids

The mechanism of down-regulation of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase by cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) was investigated in rats with a lymph fistula. In accordance with the contention that bile acids are able to down-regulate HMG-CoA reductase by a mec...
