Cholestyramine
Cholestyramine resin is a bile acid sequestrant that binds to intestinal bile acids, preventing their reabsorption. This action promotes hepatic conversion of cholesterol into bile acids, depleting cellular cholesterol stores. It is widely used in research to study lipid metabolism, hypercholesterolemia, and atherosclerosis in both in vitro and in vivo models.
