Single‐cell transcriptomics reveals that the human retina expresses a broad repertoire of steroid hormone biosynthesis and estrogen signalling genes. Functional validation in retinal explants shows that local estrogen synthesis is neuroprotective, preventing photoreceptor death and limiting microglial activation. Abstract Steroid hormones, particularly

The molecular mechanism for mulberrin regulating lipid metabolism homeostasis. ABSTRACT Lipid metabolism disorders and the induced metabolic diseases have risen to become one of the primary public health issues. Our preliminary experimental results confirmed that mulberry leaf flavonoid extract exhibited efficacy in lipid metabolism regulation; the ...

Sex Differences in Metabolite–Immune Circuits of Neuroinflammation
ABSTRACT Sex is a fundamental yet underexplored determinant of human neuroinflammation. Across autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and post‐infectious neurological syndromes, males and females exhibit consistent differences in disease vulnerability, progression, and immune tone.

Bile acid synthesis in HepG2 cells: effect of cyclosporin
The hypothesis that cyclosporin specifically affects the pathway of bile acid synthesis that begins with 27-hydroxylation of cholesterol was evaluated in HepG2 cells, which synthesize chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid from endogenous 7 alpha ...

A concept proposed by Berg (Berg, K. 1989. Arteriosclerosis. 9: I-50-I-58) is that a combination of level and variability genes determine an individual's overall plasma lipid levels and atherosclerotic risk.

Developmental expression of elements of hepatic cholesterol metabolism in the rat.
The expression of several key enzymes and receptors of rat hepatic cholesterol metabolism was studied during development. Among major findings were: acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase, the cholesteryl ester hydrolases, cholesterol-7 alpha ...
