Enhanced solubilization and intestinal absorption of cholesterol by oxidized linoleic acid
Solubilization of cholesterol in the intestinal lumen by bile acids and the subsequent formation of mixed micelles is an important step in the absorption of cholesterol. We propose that oxidized fatty acids (ox-FA) may mimic bile acids and form mixed micelles with cholesterol much more efficiently,...
