Q

hypocholesterolemics can:

a. bind bile acids, cholesterol, bile salts, and nutrients.
b. interfere with absorption of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B12.
c. promote excretion of bile acids.
d. all of the above.

A

d. all of the above
* Hypocholesterolemics can bind bile acids, cholesterol, bile salts, and nutrients, decreasing the digestion and absorption of fatty acids, fat soluble vitamins, iron, vitamin B12, and beta-carotene (cholestyramine). They can interfere with absorption of vitamin A, D, E, and B12 (clofibrate), and bind and promote excretion of bile acids decreasing the absorption of fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins (colestipol).
