Small heterodimer partner (SHP, Nr0b2) is an orphan nuclear receptor that regulates bile acid, lipid, and glucose metabolism. Shp−/− mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity and hepatic steatosis. In this study, we explored the potential role of SHP in

Studies on the link between HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase in rat liver.
Under most experimental conditions, there is a covariation between the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, HMG-CoA reductase, and the rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid biosynthesis, cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase.

Gender Differences in Bile Acids and Microbiota in Relationship with Gender Dissimilarity in Steatosis Induced by Diet and FXR Inactivation. [PDF]
This study aims to uncover how specific bacteria and bile acids (BAs) contribute to steatosis induced by diet and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) deficiency in both genders.

Vitamin D: Newer Concepts of Its Metabolism and Function at the Basic and Clinical Level. [PDF]
The interest in vitamin D continues unabated with thousands of publications contributing to a vast and growing literature each year. It is widely recognized that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the enzymes that metabolize vitamin D are found in many ...

Modulation of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase catalytic activity by adenine nucleotides was studied in rat liver microsomal preparations. Inactivation of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase showed specific requirements of ATP and ADP. AMP and cyclic AMP were

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis pharmacotherapy and predictors of response: dual role of aminotransferases as biosensors of metabolism and biomarkers of histological improvement [PDF]
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)—the severe histological form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)—is regarded as a major health problem worldwide (1,2).

Among nine strains of rat, two were found that responded to phenobarbital treatment with increased activity of hepatic cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase. This effect was maximal after 2-3 days of treatment and was then reduced.

Partial Cloning of cDNA for Hamster Liver Cholesterol 7.ALPHA.-Hydroxylase.
A partial cDNA clone encoding cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (pHA 7 alpha-3) was isolated from a hamster liver cDNA library using rat P-450 ch7 cDNA (p 7 alpha-11) as a probe. In comparison with the complete base sequence of p 7 alpha-11, pHA 7 alpha-3 lacked about 500 base pairs at the 5' end.

The report of a novel cytochrome P450 enzyme in mouse hippocampus (cyp7b) with close homology to cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase led us to determine the substrate specificity with respect to 27-hydroxycholesterol, known to be a potent inhibitor of ...
