Disease relevance of NR1H3

 

High impact information on NR1H3

  • These effects are likely due to enhanced expression of liver-x-receptor alpha, an oxysterol-activated nuclear receptor which induces ABCA1-promoter transcription [6].
  • In addition, LXR alpha increases cholesterol synthesis and release of nonesterified fatty acids [7].
  • Finally, treatment of mice with an LXR alpha agonist results in increased serum levels of glycerol and nonesterified fatty acids, consistent with increased lipolysis within adipose tissue [7].
  • Microarray analyses during adipogenesis: understanding the effects of Wnt signaling on adipogenesis and the roles of liver X receptor alpha in adipocyte metabolism [7].
  • We demonstrate here that autoregulation of the LXR alpha gene is an important component of this lipid-inducible efflux pathway in human macrophages [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of NR1H3

  • In conclusion, these observations establish LXRalpha as a crucial regulator of bile acid glucuronidation in humans and suggest that accumulation of oxysterols in hepatocytes during cholestasis favors bile acid detoxification as glucuronide conjugates [9].
