Oxidation of Cholesterol by Rat Liver Mitochondria: Influence of Ethyl α-p-Chlorophenoxyisobutyrate

  • Chapter
Drugs Affecting Lipid Metabolism

Abstract

Ethyl α-p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB) has been shown to inhibit cholesterol synthesis from acetate (1) or mevalonate (2) and to interfere with lipoprotein synthesis and/or release by the liver (3). In an effort to clarify other parameters of its mode of action, we have investigated the effect of CPIB upon the oxidation of cholesterol-26-14C to 14CO2 by suitably fortified mitochondrial preparations from rat livers.
