The bile acid-activated nuclear receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) plays an important role in lipid and glucose metabolism, and in addition, it regulates multiple drug transporters involved in statin disposition. We examined whether a functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in FXR (-1G>T) influenced the lipid-lowering effect of rosuvastatin. In 385 Chinese patients with hyperlipidemia who had been...
