Abstract excerpt
Liver X receptors (LXRs) α and β are ligand-activated transcription factors belonging to the family of nuclear receptors. LXRs play role in control of lipid homeostasis, glucose metabolism, inflammation, and proliferation. LXRs are expressed in gallbladder cholangiocytes and recent studies have shown that LXR-β (-/-) Mice exhibit an estrogen-dependent gallbladder carcinogenesis. However, there are no studies...
