Intestinal absorption and fecal excretion of 5,6 alpha-epoxy-5 alpha-cholesta-3 beta-ol by the male Wistar rat

Abstract

The intestinal absorption of 5,6 alpha-epoxy-5 alpha-cholesta-3 beta-ol, an oxysterol formed by cholesterol autoxidation, has been evaluated in the male Wistar rat. Measurement of the 14C/3H ratio in the serum (by the method of Zilversmit and Hugues) and in the feces showed that a large proportion of the epoxide was absorbed. Epoxide clearance from the blood was very rapid, but its excretion in the stool continued for several days, corresponding to the fraction of the epoxide stored in the animal.
