Bile acid synthesis. VI. Regulation of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase by taurocholate and mevalonate.

Taurocholate, a relatively hydrophobic bile salt, is a potent down-regulator of HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (C7 alpha H), the rate-determining enzymes of the cholesterol and bile acid biosynthetic pathways, respectively. Inhibition of cholesterol synthesis with a bolus dose...
