Cholesterol metabolism in patients with resection of ileum and proximal colon

KJ Ho and JL Bondi

Compartmental analysis of the disappearance curve of serum cholesterol specific activity after an intravenous administration of a tracer does of cholesterol-4-14C was carried out in five patients with resection of the distal small intestine, cecum, and proximal colon. The data fit best a two compartment model in all five cases with the rapidly exchangeable pool of 16.6+/-3.2 g (mean +/- SD, 60% of the mean of 15 normal subjects) and the slowly exchangeable pool of 31.5 +/- 10.9 g (65%). The reduction of the pool sizes was associated with a shorter mean transit time of cholesterol, 22.15 +/- 8.07 days (40%) and increased turnover rate, 2.42 +/- 0.72g/ day (172%). Direct fecal analysis for the neutral sterols and bile acids derived from the exchangeable pool confirmed the turnover rate obtained from the compartmental analysis. The increased fecal excretion was mainly in the bile acid fraction. The study suggests that the ileal and proximal colon resection results in bile acid malabsorption which, in turn, increases hepatic cholesterol and bile acid synthesis. The synthetic rates, however, could not compensate totally for the excretory rate. Therefore, the pool size decreased to a new low steady state of equilibrium.
