Localization of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA synthase in the rat liver and intestine is affected by cholestyramine and mevinolin

In the normal fed rat, both 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) synthase and HMG-CoA reductase are found in high concentrations in hepatocytes that are localized periportally.
