Transintestinal Cholesterol Transport Is Active in Mice and Humans and Controls Ezetimibe-Induced Fecal Neutral Sterol Excretion

Highlights

  • Cholesterol is excreted in humans via biliary and direct transintestinal secretion
  • In humans, TICE accounts for 35% of fecal cholesterol excretion
  • Ezetimibe increases fecal cholesterol excretion primarily by activation of TICE
  • The cholesterol transporter ABCG5/G8 mediates most of the TICE flux
