In the small intestine of HFHC-NASH rats, thicker intestinal wall with more collagen fibres, increased Ces1 activity and up-regulated P-gp protein decreased the permeability of simvastatin, accelerated the hydrolysis of simvastatin and promoted the efflux of simvastatin acid respectively. In the liver of HFHC-NASH rats, higher hepatic P-gp expression accelerated the hepatic elimination of simvastatin. Altered histology, Ces1 activity and P-gp expression in the small intestine/liver were identified to be the major contributing factors
