We investigated the relationship between plasma cholestanol (5 alpha-dihydrocholesterol) concentrations and the activity and mRNA levels of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, the rate-controlling enzyme for bile acid synthesis, in three female ...

Under most experimental conditions, the activities of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA reductase) and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, change together in parallel directions.

A rapid procedure was developed to measure hepatic cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity in the absence of endogenous microsomal cholesterol. This method involves the preparation of an acetone powder from the microsomal fraction of rat liver that ...

Monospecific antibody against purified rat liver cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450 was used to screen a lambda gt11 cDNA library constructed from immuno-enriched polysomal RNA of cholestyramine-treated female rat liver. Two types of cDNA clones differing in the length of the 3'-untranslated region were identified, and DNA sequences were ...

Dietary cholesterol and downregulation of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and cholesterol absorption in African green monkeys. [PDF]
In this study, hepatic production of bile acid was considered together with intestinal cholesterol absorption as potential regulatory sites responsive to dietary cholesterol. Sequential liver biopsies were taken from 45 feral African green monkeys studied during three different diet periods.

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.

Two cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase isozymes were purified from liver microsomes of cholestyramine-treated female rats by using anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography. These two cytochrome P-450 isozymes were similar in electrophoretic mobility, immunocross-reactivity, and Vmax but differed in Km for cholesterol, turnover number, and ...

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

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 ...
