Background Berberine (BBR), as a new medicine for hyperlipidemia, can reduce the blood
lipids in patients. Mechanistic studies have shown that BBR activates the extracellular-signal
regulated kinase pathway by stabilizing low-density-lipoprotein receptor mRNA. However,
aside from inhibiting the intestinal absorption of cholesterol, the effects of BBR on other
metabolic pathways of cholesterol have not been reported. This study aimed to investigate
the action of BBR on the excretion of cholesterol in high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemic …
