Differences in synthesis and absorption of cholesterol of two effective lipid-lowering therapies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Effective statin therapy is associated with a marked reduction of cardiovascular events. However, the explanation for full benefits obtained for LDL cholesterol targets by combined lipid-lowering therapy is controversial.

Polymorphisms of ATP binding cassette G5 and G8 transporters: their effect on cholesterol metabolism after moderate weight loss in overweight and obese hyperlipidemic women

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2006
Objective To determine the effect of polymorphisms ABCG5 and ABCG8 transporters on changes in lipid levels, cholesterol absorption rate (ABS), fractional synthesis rate (FSR), and turnover (TO) after moderate weight loss (WL) in women. Design

3D structure of the transporter ABCG2 : what's new? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
ABCG2 belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily and functions as a poly-specific efflux pump. As it can transport a broad spectrum of substrates out of cells, ABCG2 is thought to alter the pharmacokinetics of drugs applied to treat certain diseases ...

Inhibition of Intestinal Cholesterol Absorption by Ocimum sanctum L. Flower Aqueous Extract via Changing Physicochemical Properties of Cholesterol Micelles

open access: yesJournal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Hyperlipidemia is recognized as a major contributor to chronic noncommunicable diseases. The primary strategy regarding hyperlipidemia prevention is involved in the blockade of intestinal cholesterol absorption. Ezetimibe (Eze) is the sole prescribed drug that targets Niemann‐Pick C1 Like 1 (NPC1L1), a key cholesterol transporter, resulting in reduced ...

A new tool for engineering Phaeodactylum tricornutum: the METE promoter drives both high expression and B12‐tuneable regulation of transgenes

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 2, October 2025.
Significance Statement The promoter of the METE gene in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is repressed by nanomolar concentrations of vitamin B12. It can be used to tune the expression of genes for reporter proteins or metabolic enzymes and in the non‐permissive state (i.e., +B12) can suppress the expression of the lethal gene, barnase.

Patients with symptoms of haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia revealed by genetic testing as sitosterolemia

open access: yesClinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2025.
For patients with unexplained haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, especially with stomatocytes present in peripheral blood, the diagnosis of sitosterolemia should be considered, and genetic testing is strongly recommended . Abstract Background Sitosterolemia is a rare, inherited, autosomal recessive disorder of lipid metabolism.
