Phospholipase A2 relieves phosphatidylcholine inhibition of micellar cholesterol absorption and transport by human intestinal cell line Caco-21

Cholesterol absorption from bile acid micelles is suppressed by phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the micelles. The effects of micellar phospholipid composition on absorption, metabolism, and secretion of lipids were examined in Caco-2 cells incubated with micelles composed of taurocholic acid, cholestero...
