| Abstract | In this study, hepatic production of bile acid was considered together with intestinal cholesterol absorption as potential regulatory sites responsive to dietary cholesterol. Sequential liver biopsies were taken from 45 feral African green monkeys studied during three different diet periods. Low-fat Monkey Chow was fed during the baseline period, a cholesterol and fat-enriched diet was then fed for 12 wk during period 2, and finally, after a washout period of 10 wk, three subgroups were fed low-, moderate-, and high-cholesterol diets for 12 mo during period 3. The percentage of cholesterol absorbed in the intestine was significantly lower when higher levels of cholesterol were fed; however, this percentage was significantly and positively correlated to plasma cholesterol concentration at each dietary cholesterol level. Hepatic free and esterified cholesterol content were significantly elevated by dietary cholesterol challenge and remained elevated even after 20 wk of low-cholesterol diets. Hepatic mRNA abundance for cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (C7H) was significantly lower (approximately 60%) when the high-cholesterol diet was fed, with the decrease being greater than that seen for low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor mRNA. At the same time, hepatic mRNA abundance for apolipoprotein B and hepatic lipase were not diet sensitive. C7H activity was decreased to a similar extent by diet as was C7H mRNA, although the correlation between enzyme activity and mRNA abundance was only r = 0.5, suggesting that dietary regulation includes factors in addition to transcriptional regulation. Activity and mRNA abundance of C7H remained decreased when liver esterified cholesterol content was reduced to only a two- to three-fold elevation over baseline, at a time when plasma cholesterol and hepatic LDL receptor mRNA abundance had returned to baseline levels. These data on liver C7H, obtained in one of the few primate species predisposed to cholesterol gallstone formation, support the hypothesis that the liver may attempt to downregulate intestinal cholesterol absorption by decreasing bile acid production when increased amounts of absorbed dietary cholesterol reach the liver. Presumably this represents attempted downregulation of intestinal cholesterol absorption by limiting bile acid availability as a means to maintain hepatic cholesterol balance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
