cellular
• enterocytes have decreased efflux of cholesterol in vitro
• in vivo, uptake of cholesterol in the gut is unaffected by cholesterol fails to get transported to the circulatory system

digestive/alimentary system
• cholesterol uptaken from the lumen of the gut is retained in the enterocytes instead of being transported to the blood

homeostasis/metabolism
• enterocytes have decreased efflux of cholesterol in vitro
• in vivo, uptake of cholesterol in the gut is unaffected by cholesterol fails to get transported to the circulatory system
• total cholesterol levels are reduced
• fasting plasma HDL levels are reduced about 30%
• serum levels of Apo-AI, Apo-AII and ApoB are also reduced by about 25-35%
• serum levels of Apo-AI, Apo-AII and ApoB are also reduced by about 25-35%
