Popis: | For a long time, orally ingested vitamin D was assumed to enter the body exclusively via simple passive diffusion. Recent data from in vitro experiments have described Niemann-Pick C1-like protein 1 (Npc1l1) as an important sterol transporter for vitamin D absorption. However, short-term applications of ezetimibe, which inhibits Npc1l1, were not associated with reduced vitamin D uptake in animals and humans. The current study aimed to elucidate the effect of long-term inhibition of Npc1l1 by ezetimibe on the uptake and storage of orally administered triple deuterated vitamin D3 (vitamin D3-d3). Therefore, 30 male wild-type mice were randomly assigned into three groups and received diets with 25 μg/kg of vitamin D3-d3 that contained 0 (control group), 50 or 100 mg/kg ezetimibe for six weeks. Mice fed diets with 50 or 100 mg/kg ezetimibe had lower circulating levels of cholesterol than control mice (-12 %, -15 %, P |
