Marijuana makes rats slothful, and they excrete all over themselves.
Thus there is good evidence that glycerol permeability is important in yeast cells [ 81, 82] in the secretion of this polyol under stress conditions, but in higher plants that do not accumulate glycerol as an osmoprotectant nor excrete it in large quantities, there is no apparent function for increasing glycerol permeability.
Untreated children and adults with cystic fibrosis excrete amounts of fecal bile acids similar to patients with ileal resections [ 20 21 ] . Based on kinetic studies, this increased fecal loss appears to be secondary to an interrupted enterohepatic circulation of bile acids [ 20 21 ] . Bile acid malabsorption in cystic fibrosis appears to be due in part to diminished secretion of pancreatic enzymes and the presence of un-hydrolyzed triglycerides.
Studies have shown that the sitosterolemic patients hyperabsorb all sterols (cholesterol and phytosterols) and fail to excrete phytosterols into bile [ 3 4 5 6 7 ] . Positional mapping of the STSL locus to human chromosome 2p21 led to the identification of two genes, ATP binding cassette (ABC) half-transporters G5 and G8 that were mutated in affected individuals [ 8 9 10 11 12 ] . The protein products of these two genes (sterolin-1 and sterolin-2 respectively) are thought to form heterodimers to constitute a functional transporter, based primarily on the genetic evidence that affected individuals are either completely mutated in sterolin-1 or sterolin-2, but not both [ 12 ] . More recently, evidence from in vitro expression of these proteins has been presented that these two proteins co-immunoprecipitate, supporting this conclusion [ 13 ] . ABCG5 and ABCG8 appear to be present in all mammalian genomes examined to date and are highly conserved between species, indicating that these genes may have a similar function in other species.
