Role of oxysterol 4β-hydroxycholesterol and liver X receptor alleles in pre-eclampsia [PDF]

Annals of Medicine
Background Liver X receptors (LXRs) are expressed in placenta and may be associated with pre-eclampsia (PE). Oxysterols act as agonists for LXRs. We recently proposed a new blood pressure-regulating circuit with oxysterol 4β-hydroxycholesterol (4βHC ...

Liver X Receptor Agonist 4β‐Hydroxycholesterol as a Prognostic Factor in Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Regardless of progress in treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), there is still a significant residual risk of death in patients with CAD, highlighting the need for additional risk stratification markers.

No impact of vitamin D on the CYP3A biomarker 4β-hydroxycholesterol in patients with abnormal glucose regulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
PURPOSE:To investigate the effect of vitamin D3 on hepatic Cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP) 3A4 in patients with abnormal glucose regulation using the endogenous marker 4β-hydroxycholesterol (4β-OHC):cholesterol ratio.

Significant increase in plasma 4β-hydroxycholesterol concentration in patients after kidney transplantation [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Several previous studies have shown that renal failure decreases not only renal elimination but also metabolic clearance of drugs, particularly those metabolized by CYP3A.

Estrogen associations with human pregnancy related increases in cytochrome P450 3A activity [PDF]

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionIncreased CYP3A-mediated drug clearance during pregnancy can lead to subtherapeutic dosing of CYP3A substrates. Pregnancy-related hormones (PRHs) increase CYP3A4 expression and activity in cultured human hepatocytes.

Interindividual variability in CYP3A‐mediated venetoclax metabolism in vitro and in vivo in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]

Clinical and Translational Science
Venetoclax is a first‐in‐class orally administered B‐cell lymphoma‐2 inhibitor used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Venetoclax is primarily metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 to its major metabolite M27, via M5, and M2, M3,

Oxysterol-mediated modulation of intestinal inflammation: insights into sex differences and GPR183 signaling [PDF]

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
Background and aims Oxysterols, oxidized derivatives of cholesterol, play complex roles in inflammatory processes, but their specific functions in inflammatory bowel diseases remain incompletely understood.

Sterol Metabolism in Ovariectomized Rats: Potential Roles of Campesterol and 4β-Hydroxycholesterol in Osteoporosis. [PDF]

Lipids
ABSTRACT Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. Lipid metabolism disorders may contribute to osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Phytosterols and oxysterols (OC) are involved in lipid metabolism.

Sensitive UHPLC-MS/MS quantification method for 4β- and 4α-hydroxycholesterol in plasma for accurate CYP3A phenotyping

Journal of Lipid Research, 2022
4β-Hydroxycholesterol (4β-OHC) is formed by Cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A and has drawn attention as an endogenous phenotyping probe for CYP3A activity. However, 4β-OHC is also increased by cholesterol autooxidation occurring in vitro due to dysregulated ...

Cytochrome P450 activity in rheumatoid arthritis patients during continuous IL-6 receptor antagonist therapy [PDF]

, 2023
BACKGROUND: Inflammation suppresses cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activity, and single-dose interleukin 6 receptor antagonists (anti-IL-6R) reverse this effect.
