Abstract
Studies were undertaken to define the role of bile acids in the control of hepatic cholesterogenesis from acetate. Both biliary diversion and biliary obstruction increase the rate of sterol synthesis by the liver 2.5- to 3-fold. After biliary diversion, however, the bile acid content of the liver is decreased, whereas after biliary obstruction, it is markedly increased. Thus, there is no relationship between the tissue content of bile acid and the rate of hepatic cholesterol synthesis. Furthermore, restoration of the enterohepatic circulation of bile acid in animals with biliary diversion fails to prevent the rise in synthetic activity seen after this manipulation. These data indicate that bile acid plays no direct inhibitory role in the regulation of cholesterol synthesis by the liver.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
