Incubation of rat hepatocytes for 3 hours in a sterol-free medium containing 1.5% albumin resulted in efflux of cellular sterol into the medium and an increased activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase. The secretion of cholesterol was inhibited when cells were incubated with glucagon, norepinephrine, or dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Glucagon and dibutyryl cyclic AMP also inhibited the induction of HMG- CoA reductase. Norepinephrine treatment resulted in a decrease in the synthesis and secretion of proteins but caused an increase in reductase activity. Insulin treatment had no effect either on reductase activity or on sterol efflux from rat hepatocytes.
