摘要:The hypothesis that cyclosporin specifically affects the pathway of bile acid synthesis that begins with 27-hydroxylation of cholesterol was evaluated in HepG2 cells, which synthesize chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid from endogenous 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol. At a concentration in the medium of 8.3 microM cyclosporin, the proportion of cholic acid increased from 29 +/- 7% to 44 +/- 6% (P
