Abstract

Male albino rats were administered various oral doses of tibric acid daily for 1 week. Serum Cholesterol and triglyceride levels were reduced, but total liver content of Cholesterol, Phospholipids, and triglycerides was increased. Tibric acid treatment suppressed the incorporation of both [14C] acetate and [3H] mevalonate into Cholesterol by liver homogenates.
