Regulation of Cholesterol Catabolism by Bile Salts and Glycyrrhetic Acid in vivo.

Abstract
Summary Tritiated cholesterol was injected intraperitoneally into rats having 2 bile-duct cannulae, one for bile collection and the other for intraduodenal infusion of bile-salt solutions. Intraduodenal infusion of taurocholate (10 mg/hr) had no effect on rates of radioactive bile-salt formation from cholesterol-H3. Intraduodenal infusion of taurochenodeoxycholate (10 mg/hr) inhibited radioactive bile salt formation. Taurocholate infusion also resulted in a 6-fold increased secretion of a dihydroxycholanate, apparently taurochenodeoxycholate. Sodium β-glycyr-rhetate infusion (125 μg/hr) had no significant effect on secretion of either radioactive cholesterol or radioactive bile salts.
