Peroxisome Proliferator‐Activated Receptor‐γ Prevents Cholesterol Gallstone Formation in C57bl Mice by Regulating Bile Acid Synthesis and Enterohepatic Circulation

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
To investigate the role of the peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐γ (PPARγ) in the progression of cholesterol gallstone disease (CGD), C57bl/6J mice were randomized to the following groups (n=7/group): L (lithogenic diet, LGD), LM (LGD+pioglitazone), CM (chow diet+pioglitazone), and NC (normal control, chow diet).

Marked induction of sterol 27-hydroxylase activity and mRNA levels during differentiation of human cultured monocytes into macrophages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Sterol 27-hydroxylase has been suggested to be involved in an alternative pathway for the elimination of cholesterol from macrophages and early atherosclerotic lesions.

Markedly reduced bile acid synthesis but maintained levels of cholesterol and vitamin D metabolites in mice with disrupted sterol 27-hydroxylase gene [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Sterol 27-hydroxylase is important for the degradation of the steroid side chain in conversion of cholesterol into bile acids and has been ascribed a regulatory role in cholesterol homeostasis.

Expression of sterol 27-hydroxylase in GLIAL cells and its regulation by liver X receptor signaling

open access: yes, 2009
Cholesterol is required in the brain for synaptogenesis and its turnover is critical for cerebral functions. Several proteins involved in cholesterol handling and metabolism are transcriptionally regulated by the nuclear liver X receptor (LXR) α and β ...

Magreceptorok szerepe a makrofágok fejlődésében és funkciójában [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Nuclear receptors are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate many aspects of metazoan life. In vivo, a biologically active, functional nuclear receptor requires obviously the protein of the transcription factor, an endogenous ligand that ...

Differential effects of 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol on the neutral and acidic pathways of bile salt synthesis in the rat

open access: yes, 1999
Effects of 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE) on the neutral and acidic biosynthetic pathways of bile salt (BS) synthesis were evaluated in rats with an intact enterohepatic circulation and in rats with long-term bile diversion to induce BS synthesis, For ...
