| pubmed-article:1422455 | pubmed:abstractText | Inclusion of ketonazole (in a daily dose of 400 mg/kg for 8 days) into the diet of intact and cholesterol-fed (5% dietary cholesterol) rats produced a respective 20- and 30-percent lowering of cholesterol content in blood serum. In all the animals, the hypocholesterolemic effect of ketoconazole was realized via a decrease of the concentration of very low and low density lipoproteins. Ketoconazole also gave rise to a reduction of the concentration of cholesterol and bile acids in bile of the intact rats and of cholesterol in bile of the cholesterol-fed animals. | lld:pubmed |
