Scientists at UCLA described a previously unknown step in the complex process by which dietary cholesterol is processed in the intestines before being released into the bloodstream. The finding might ...
Excessive cholesterol absorption from intestinal lumen contributes to the pathogenesis of hypercholesterolemia, which is a well-established risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown step in the process by which dietary cholesterol is absorbed from the intestine into the bloodstream. The newfound pathway provides a potential new ...
"The Aster pathway appears to be a potentially attractive target for limiting intestinal cholesterol absorption and reducing levels of plasma cholesterol." Cholesterol from food is absorbed by cells ...
Plasma LDL-C concentrations can potentially be lowered either by inhibiting the synthesis of cholesterol by the tissues and/or driving the excretion of cholesterol from the body. Although blocking ...
