Dietary soy protein isolate (SPI) and its undigested high molecular fraction (HMF) exhaustively digested with proteases, compared with casein (CAS), significantly reduced serum and liver cholesterol concentration in rats. Biliary excretion of cholesterol was significantly higher in rats fed SPI and HMF than in those fed CAS.

Effect of a Liver X Receptor Agonist on Deposition and Lymphatic Absorption of Plant Sterols in Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats Having a Mutation in ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter G5 [PDF]
The effects were compared of T0901317, a liver X receptor agonist, on deposition in the liver and serum and lymphatic absorption of plant sterols in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSPs) having a missense mutation in Abcg5, which codes for ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC) G5, with those in Wistar rats.

Cholesterol feeding strongly reduces hepatic VLDL-triglyceride production in mice lacking the liver X receptor αs⃞ [PDF]
The oxysterol-activated nuclear receptor liver X receptor α (LXRα) has been implicated in the control of both cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism.

Biliary elimination of cholesterol can be modulated by hepatocyte mitochondrial Aquaporin-8 in mice [PDF]
Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) transcription factors directly or indirectly regulate key genes involved in hepatic cholesterol homeostasis, including biliary elimination.

Excessive exogenous cholesterol activating intestinal LXRα-ABCA1/G5/G8 signaling pathway can not reverse atherosclerosis in ApoE−/− mice [PDF]
Background The long-term excessive intake of exogenous cholesterol can lead to abnormally elevated blood lipid levels and induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Mutations with a decrease in the expression and function of the of the ATP-binding cassette genes proteins ABCG5 and ABCG8, as the main sterol efflux transporters, lead to the accumulation of xenosterols in plasma associated with changes in the lipid profile, hyperglycemia and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).

Thematic Review Series: Lipid Transfer Proteins ABCG5 and ABCG8: more than a defense against xenosterols [PDF]
The elucidation of the molecular basis of the rare disease, sitosterolemia, has revolutionized our mechanistic understanding of how dietary sterols are excreted and how cholesterol is eliminated from the body.

Cerebral involvement in sitosterolemia [PDF]
Background Sitosterolemia, an autosomal recessive condition, is characterized by impaired metabolism of plant sterols. Clinical symptoms include skin xanthoma, premature atherosclerotic disease, arthritis, and unexplained hematological abnormalities ...

Mechanism of Action of Sterols in Reducing Intracellular Cholesterol in Hypercholesterolemic HepG2 Cells [PDF]
In this work, we established a HepG2 cell model of hypercholesterolemia in order to investigate the cholesterol-lowering activity and underlying mechanism of sterols.
