Effect of coffee and tea on intestinal cholesterogenesis and the contents of cholesterol in serum, liver, duodenum, jejunum and ileum
Coffee or Tea fed daily twice orally to albino rats led to a decrease in serum total cholesterol. Coffee significantly reduced the cholesterol content of Liver, Duodenum, Jejunum and Ileum. The HMG-CoA reductase activity of Liver was decreased in either case but only in coffee fed animals the activity was decreased in the intestinal tissues. In the case of Tea-consuming animals the cholesterol contents of Duodenum, Jejunum and Ileum were not altered significantly. Serum Free cholesterol was not altered significantly in both cases. However Free cholesterol changes were noted in both the liver and all the intestinal tissues except the Ileum of tea consuming animal
