Inhibition of cholesterol absorption by (−)N‐[α‐phenyl‐β‐(p‐tolyl) ethyl] linoleamide in rats
Lipids1976Vol. 11(3), pp. 163–166
Abstract
The effect of (-)N-[alpha-phenyl-beta-(p-tolyl)ethyl] linoleamide (PTLA) on intestinal absorption of cholesterol was studied in rats. Oral administration of 15 mg PTLA to rats resulted in a significant (P less than 0.05) decrease in the radioactivity in serum and liver 4 hr after administration of labeled cholesterol. The effect of PTLA was greater on the absorption of cholesteryl oleate as compared with free cholesterol. The rate of hydrolysis of cholesteryl oleate in mucosal homogenates of rat intestine was decreased with PTLA, suggesting that the inhibition of cholesterol absorption by PTLA is related to its effect on cholesteryl ester hydrolysis in the intestine.
