Abstract excerpt
Activation of liver X receptor (LXR) is associated with cholesterol metabolism and anti-inflammatory processes, which makes it beneficial to antiatherosclerosis therapy. Nevertheless, existing agonists that target LXR, for example TO901317, are related to unwanted side effects. In the present study, using a screening method we identified IMB-808, which displayed potent dual LXRα/β agonistic activity. In vitro,...
