The absorption of endogenous cholesterol, labeled with tracer doses of cholesterol 14C or cholesterol-3H and of near physiological doses of vitamin D3-3H was studied in rats with cannulated intestinal lymphatics. The effects of administering mixed micellar solutions of fatty acid, monoglyceride, and bile salt on the absorption of these labeled sterols was determined. It was observed that the specific activity of free cholesterol and the amounts of vitamin D3 appearing in lymph were significantly increased during the intraduodenal administration of mixed micellar solutions of either linoleic or palmitic acid, in contrast to control rats receiving a micellar solution of taurocholate. These increases were related linearly to the lymph triglyceride level. In addition it was observed that when the linoleic acid solution was administered there was a more marked increase in the ratio of the specific activities of free and esterified cholesterol in lymph than with either the palmitic acid or taurocholate solutions.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
