Favorable effects of Anethum graveolens on liver oxidative stress and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase levels in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) rat models [PDF]
Background: High-fat high-cholesterol diet induces a phenotype similar to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in humans.

Up to date on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) in bile acid synthesis [PDF]
Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1, EC1.14) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the classic bile acid synthesis pathway. Much progress has been made in understanding the transcriptional regulation of CYP7A1 gene expression and the underlying ...

Interruption of the enterohepatic circulation by cholestyramine causes a several-fold increase in bile acid synthesis, reflected in a stimulation of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity; the synthesis of cholic acid being stimulated to a greater ...

Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, the rate-determining enzyme in the bile acid biosynthesis pathway, is regulated in a negative feedback manner by hydrophobic bile salts returning to the liver via the portal circulation.

Expression and purification of human cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase in Escherichia coli.
Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (P450c7) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid biosynthesis and is the product of a cytochrome P450 gene, CYP7.

On the saturation of the cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase in human liver microsomes.
The relationships between cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity, pool of free microsomal cholesterol, and degree of substrate saturation of the enzyme were studied in untreated (n = 5), cholesterol-fed (n = 4), and cholestyramine-treated (n = 6 ...

Compared to BALB/c mice, inbred C57BL/6 mice are more susceptible to developing fatty streak atherosclerotic lesions when fed a cholesterol-rich diet containing taurocholate. We examined the metabolic basis for the taurocholate requirement.

Thyroid hormone induction of human cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) in vitro. [PDF]
Thyroid hormone (TH) modulates serum cholesterol by acting on TH receptor β1 (TRβ1) in liver to regulate metabolic gene sets. In rodents, one important TH regulated step involves induction of Cyp7a1, an enzyme in the cytochrome P450 family, which enhances cholesterol to bile acid conversion and plays a crucial role in regulation of serum cholesterol ...
