Diurnal variation in cholesterol 7 α - hydroxylase activity is determined by the - 203 A > C polymorphism of the CYP 7

چکیده
Methods The study included 16 healthy male volunteers – 8 homozygous for -203A and 8 homozygous for the -203C allele of CYP7A1. Three 15-hour examinations (from 7am to 10pm) were carried out for each of the participants: after one-day treatment with cholestyramine; after one-day treatment with chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA); and a control examination without any treatment. The plasma concentration of 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (C4), a marker of CYP7A1 activity, was determined in all the experiments at 90-min intervals.

Diurnal variation in cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase activity is determined by the -203A>C polymorphism of the CYP7A1 gene
AIM To determine whether the promoter polymorphism -203A>C of cholesterol-7α-hydroxylase encoding gene (CYP7A1) affects diurnal variation in CYP7A1 enzyme activity. METHODS The study included 16 healthy male volunteers - 8 homozygous for -203A and 8 homozygous for the -203C allele of CYP7A1. Three 15-hour examinations (from 7am to 10pm) were carried out for each of the participants: after one...
متن کاملP-91: Androgen Associated Gene Polymorphism(s) in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome from South Indian Population
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder affecting 4-12% of reproductive women worldwide; characterized by chronic anovulation, clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound scan. Ovarian androgen overproduction is the key pathophysiologic feature of PCOS. A number of genes encoding major enzymes of the androgen meta...
متن کاملDifferent hepatocytes express the cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase gene during its circadian modulation in vivo.
Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in bile salt synthesis from cholesterol is a P450 enzyme (CYP7A). Its expression and activity are regulated by bile salts, cholesterol, hormones and a circadian modulator. Here we define the hepatocytes contributing to the expression of the rat CYP7A gene during its in vivo circadian variation. The diurnal expression of the CYP7A messeng...

Background: Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) moves with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in blood and prevents low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles from oxidation. The aims of this study were to investigate the correlation between fatty acid composition of HDL phospholipids with pon-1 polymorphisms and response to lovastatin treatment in people with high blood cholesterol. Methods: In this desc...
متن کاملShort- and long-term effects of ethanol administration in vivo on rat liver HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase activities.
Short- and long-term effects of ethanol on HMG-CoA reductase (EC 1.1.1.34) and cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase activities in rat liver have been investigated. Neither the reductase nor the hydroxylase activity as measured in vitro was significantly affected within 2 hr after a single intraperitoneal injection of ethanol (7 mmol per 100g body weight), whether tested at the diurnal low or the diur...
