Inhibition of lipid synthesis by clofibrate: comparative study of human skin, rat skin, and rat liver in vitro

The effects of clofibrate (ethyl p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate) on lipid synthesis by human skin were studied in vitro. The drug was found to inhibit lipid synthesis from [1-14C]acetate or [U-14C]glucose. While the synthesis of all classes of lipids was suppressed, inhibition of sterol synthesis was mo...
