Lactobacillus plantarum CUL66 can impact cholesterol homeostasis in Caco-2 enterocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hypercholesterolemia drives the development of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of mortality in western society. Supplementation with probiotics that interfere with cholesterol metabolism may provide a contribution to disease prevention ...

Hepatic NPC1L1 overexpression attenuates alcoholic autophagy in mice

open access: yesMolecular Medicine Reports, 2019
Alcohol consumption causes liver steatosis in humans. Metabolic disorders of lipids are one of the factors that cause liver steatosis in hepatocytes. Hepatic Niemann‑Pick C1‑like 1 (NPC1L1) regulates lipid homeostasis in mammals. The relationship between NPC1L1 and autophagy in those with a history of alcohol abuse is unclear.

Luteolin and quercetin affect the cholesterol absorption mediated by epithelial cholesterol transporter niemann-pick c1-like 1 in caco-2 cells and rats. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) mediates cholesterol absorption, and ezetimibe is a potent NPC1L1 inhibitor applicable for medication of hypercholesterolemia.

First Discovery of Cholesterol-Lowering Activity of Parthenolide as NPC1L1 Inhibitor

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Elevated cholesterol significantly increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. The key to treating hypercholesterolemia is lowering plasma cholesterol levels.

Mathematically modelling the dynamics of cholesterol metabolism and ageing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the UK. This conditionbecomes increasingly prevalent during ageing; 34.1% and 29.8% of males and females respectively, over 75years of age have an underlying cardiovascular ...

SREBP2 mediates the modulation of intestinal NPC1L1 expression by curcumin [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2011
Curcumin, the major phenolic compound in the spice turmeric, exhibits numerous biological effects, including lowering plasma cholesterol and preventing diet-induced hypercholesterolemia. The mechanisms underlying the hypocholesterolemic effect of curcumin are not fully understood.

Genetic Variation in NPC1L1 and Risk of Gallstone Disease

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2015
We read with great interest the recent paper by Ference et al. [(1)][1] using genetic variants in NPC1L1 (target for ezetimibe) and HMGCR (target for statins) to predict the effect of ezetimibe and statins on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and risk of coronary heart disease ...

Novel polyketide from Fusarium verticillioide G102 as NPC1L1 inhibitors

open access: yesNatural Product Research, 2023
One novel polyketide, fusaritide A (1), was isolated from a marine fish-derived halotolerant fungal strain Fusarium verticillioide G102. The structure was determined through extensive spectroscopic analysis and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
