Intestinal hydrolysis of cholesterol acetate in rats was studied by analysis of free and total sterol content in the feces. Hydrolysis increased as the concentrations of cholesterol acetate in the diet increased, but the efficiency of hydrolysis in terms of completeness diminished. When the concentration of cholesterol acetate in the diet was constant, hydrolysis increased as dietary fat increased. Finally, the paradoxical absorption of cholesterol 4-C14 indicates that if cholesterol ester is absorbed intact, the locus differs from that of free cholesterol absorption.
