On the regulatory role of side-chain hydroxylated oxysterols in the brain. Lessons from CYP27A1 transgenic and Cyp27a1−/− mice
3 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
The two oxysterols, 27-hydroxycholesterol (27OH) and 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24OH), are both inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis and activators of the liver X receptor (LXR) in vitro. Their role as physiological regulators under in vivo conditions is controversial, however. In the present work, we utilized a previously described mouse model with overexpressed human sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1). The levels of...
