Influence of hyperthyroidism on enterohepatic sterol metabolism. (A) Taqman real-time PCR analysis of hepatic genes involved in cholesterol metabolism (ABCA1, ABCG5, ABCG8) and bile acid synthesis (CYP7A1) (n=4-10 per group). (B) Gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of diet-derived phytosterols in plasma, normalized to cholesterol. Plasma phytosterol levels reflect intestinal absorption of cholesterol (n=5 per group). T3, treated with T3 for 14 days; **P < 0.01 versus corresponding controls; data are normalized to the respective controls.
