Measurement of intestinal cholesterol absorption by plasma and fecal dual-isotope ratio, mass balance, and lymph fistula methods in the mouse: an analysis of direct versus indirect methodologies
The rate of intestinal cholesterol (Ch) absorption is an important criterion for quantitation of Ch homeostasis. However, studies in the literature suggest that percent Ch absorption, measured usually by a fecal dual-isotope ratio method, spans a wide range, from 20% to 90%, in healthy inbred mice o...
