Uptake of 7-dehydro derivatives of cholesterol, campesterol, and beta-sitosterol by rat erythrocytes, jejunal villus cells, and brush border membranes.

We have determined the effect of the side chain on the uptake of sterols from micellar solutions by isolated rat jejunal villus cells, brush border membranes, and erythrocytes. From an equimolar mixture of 7-dehydrosterols, the uptake decreased with an increasing number of carbon atoms at C24 of the...
