Intracerebroventricular leptin regulates hepatic cholesterol metabolism.
To elucidate the control of hepatic cholesterol metabolism by leptin, rats were administered IV (intravenous) leptin, ICV (intracerebroventricular) leptin or saline. A single low dose of ICV leptin was as effective as a continuous IV infusion of high-dose leptin at decreasing the activities of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase. These results indicate th...
متن کاملHepatic Cholesterol Metabolism
Although cholesterol is necessary to maintain cellular integrity and is an essential precursor for steroid hormones and bile acids, an elevated concentration of circulating cholesterol is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which accounts for ≈1 of every 3 deaths in the United States. In recognition of National Cholesterol Month, this article highlights recent studies publi...
متن کاملHepatic cholesterol metabolism in cholesterol gallstone disease.
Hepatic cholesterol metabolism was examined in 27 Swedish patients with cholesterol gallstone disease and in 13 patients free of gallstones operated for roentgenographically suspect polyps in the gallbladder. All 40 patients underwent cholecystectomy, and a liver biopsy and gallbladder bile were obtained at surgery. The cholesterol saturation of gallbladder bile was significantly higher in pati...
متن کاملInteraction between dietary lipids and gut microbiota regulates hepatic cholesterol metabolism.
The gut microbiota influences many aspects of host metabolism. We have previously shown that the presence of a gut microbiota remodels lipid composition. Here we investigated how interaction between gut microbiota and dietary lipids regulates lipid composition in the liver and plasma, and gene expression in the liver. Germ-free and conventionally raised mice were fed a lard or fish oil diet for...
متن کامل6-Gingerol Regulates Hepatic Cholesterol Metabolism by Up-regulation of LDLR and Cholesterol Efflux-Related Genes in HepG2 Cells
Gingerols, the pungent ingredients in ginger, are reported to possess a cholesterol-lowering activity. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The present study was to investigate how 6-gingerol (6-GN), the most abundant gingerol in fresh ginger, regulates hepatic cholesterol metabolism. HepG2 cells were incubated with various concentrations of 6-GN ranging from 50 to 200 μM for 24 h...
