Acute sterol o-acyltransferase 2 (SOAT2) knockdown rapidly mobilizes hepatic cholesterol for fecal excretion.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The primary risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is LDL cholesterol, which can be reduced by increasing cholesterol excretion from the body.

Effects of Quercetin Metabolites on Triglyceride Metabolism of 3T3-L1 Preadipocytes and Mature Adipocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Quercetin (Q) has rapid metabolism, which may make it worthwhile to focus on the potential activity of its metabolites. Our aim was to evaluate the triglyceride-lowering effects of Q metabolites in mature and pre-adipocytes, and to compare them to those ...

Nanomedicine Targeting Macrophage Immunometabolism in Atherosclerosis: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Prospects

open access: yesOrgan Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory–metabolic disorder, remains a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity worldwide. This review explores the emerging paradigm of nanomedicine‐based targeting of macrophage immunometabolic reprogramming as a potentially transformative strategy for atherosclerosis treatment.

Cholesterol metabolism. Its regulation at the hepatic and intestinal level [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Aunque todas las células del organismo tienen capacidad para sintetizar colesterol, la mayor parte de la síntesis de éste, que da lugar a lo que se conoce como colesterol endógeno, se realiza en el hígado.

Uric Acid in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

open access: yesPortal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
MASLD is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, yet effective pharmacological treatments remain limited. Hyperuricemia is now recognized as a key driver of hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, with elevated serum uric acid levels independently predicting hepatocellular carcinoma and liver‐related mortality.

Gene networks driving bovine milk fat synthesis during the lactation cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background The molecular events associated with regulation of milk fat synthesis in the bovine mammary gland remain largely unknown. Our objective was to study mammary tissue mRNA expression via quantitative PCR of 45 genes associated with lipid ...

Cannabidiol and cannabigerol ameliorate steatotic liver disease via phosphocreatine buffering and lysosomal restoration

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) alleviate hepatic steatosis in obese mice by shifting energy buffering towards phosphocreatine and enhancing lysosomal lipid degradation and trafficking. These effects are associated with increased creatine kinase activity and lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) levels, highlighting a previously unrecognised ...

Growth differentiation factor 15 mitigates lipotoxic steatosis by preserving mitochondrial morphodynamics and augmenting fatty acid oxidation in hepatocytes and liver organoids

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) has emerged as a promising metabolic regulator with hepatoprotective properties in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), yet its underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

ACAT1/SOAT1 maintains adipogenic ability in preadipocytes by regulating cholesterol homeostasis

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research
Maintaining cholesterol homeostasis is critical for preserving adipocyte function during the progression of obesity. Despite this, the regulatory role of cholesterol esterification in governing adipocyte expandability has been understudied. Acyl-coenzyme
