We show how switching from a regular diet to an HCHF increases cholesterol absorption in patients with normal weight and obesity. The decrease in cholesterol absorption from an HCHF to an LCLF, on the other hand, was only seen in normal-weight controls, underlining the importance of body weight in this regulation. In addition, changes in caloric and fat content had an immediate and direct effect on hepatic bile acid production.
