Liver X receptors regulate adrenal cholesterol balance [PDF]
Cholesterol is the obligate precursor to adrenal steroids but is cytotoxic at high concentrations. Here, we show the role of the liver X receptors (LXRalpha and LXRbeta) in preventing accumulation of free cholesterol in mouse adrenal glands by controlling expression of genes involved in all aspects of cholesterol utilization, including the ...

IDOL regulates systemic energy balance through control of neuronal VLDLR expression. [PDF]
Liver X receptors limit cellular lipid uptake by stimulating the transcription of Inducible Degrader of the LDL Receptor (IDOL), an E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets lipoprotein receptors for degradation.

Farnesoid X Receptor and Liver X Receptor Ligands Initiate Formation of Coated Platelets [PDF]
Objectives— The liver X receptors (LXRs) and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) have been identified in human platelets. Ligands of these receptors have been shown to have nongenomic inhibitory effects on platelet activation by platelet agonists.

Role of metabolic nuclear receptors in acute liver injury and drug-induced hepatotoxicity
Metabolic nuclear receptors (NRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors central to metabolic homeostasis and detoxification. While their roles in chronic liver diseases have been reviewed, comprehensive reviews specifically addressing the role of ...

Liver X Receptor β Related to Tumor Progression and Ribosome Gene Expression in Papillary Thyroid Cancer [PDF]
Background Intracellular lipid deposition has been reported in thyroid glands in obese animal and human. To understand the regulatory mechanism of lipid metabolism in thyroid cancer, we investigated the expression status of liver X receptor (LXR) and ...

H3 histamine receptor-mediated activation of protein kinase calpha inhibits the growth of cholangiocarcinoma in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
Histamine regulates functions via four receptors (HRH1, HRH2, HRH3, and HRH4). The D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))/Ca(2+)/protein kinase C (PKC)/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway regulates cholangiocarcinoma growth.

Liver X receptors and epididymal epithelium physiology
To investigate the roles of liver X receptors (LXR) in the lipid composition and gene expression regulation in the murine caput epididymidis. LXR are nuclear receptors for oxysterols, molecules derived from cholesterol metabolism that are present in mammals as two isoforms: LXRalpha, which is more specifically expressed in lipid-metabolising tissues ...
