Inhibiting bile acid reabsorption with ASBT, an apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter, is regarded as one strategy to reduce plasma cholesterol levels. In this study, we screened polyphenols and revealed that teaflavins, a polymer of oxidized catechin which is common in black tea, inhibit bile acid uptake by directly interacting with ASBT. This study also elucidated the mechanism by which this happens.
