The increased CDCAs concentrations activated Fxr-Fgf15 pathway in ileum to result in the mRNA expression of Cyp7a1 in liver down-regulation, which inhibited cholesterol metabolizing into primary BAs to contribute to the cholesterol level increase in liver tissue in HFD-induced obesity rats.
Title: Hepatic cholesterol accumulation ascribed to the activation of ileum Fxr-Fgf15 pathway inhibiting hepatic Cyp7a1 in high-fat diet-induced obesity rats.
It has been demonstrated that hepatic gene expression of Cyp7a1 is directed by day/night rhythm but not daily rhythm in food intake. Combining an high-fat diet with feeding in the light/inactive period annulled CYp7a1 gene expression rhythms.
Title: Complex interaction between circadian rhythm and diet on bile acid homeostasis in male rats.
lnc-HC negatively regulates cholesterol metabolism within hepatocytes through physical interaction with hnRNPA2B1. By further binding to the target messenger RNA of Cyp7a1 or Abca1, the lnc-HC-hnRNPA2B1 complex decreases expressions of the two genes that are implicated in cellular cholesterol excretion.
Title: A novel long noncoding RNA Lnc-HC binds hnRNPA2B1 to regulate expressions of Cyp7a1 and Abca1 in hepatocytic cholesterol metabolism.
Administration of glucocorticoids (GCs) enhanced liver bile acid uptake by increasing the expression of the major hepatocyte basolateral bile transporter (Ntcp) in rats. The reduced expression of a bile acid synthesis rate-controlling enzyme, Cyp7a1, suggests that treatment with GCs suppressed hepatic bile acid synthesis.
Title: Glucocorticoid treatment alters systemic bile acid homeostasis by regulating the biosynthesis and transport of bile salts.
Dietary fats and glucomannan plus spirulina added to pork significantly alters Cyp7a1 expression in Zucker rats.
Title: Glucomannan and glucomannan plus spirulina added to pork significantly block dietary cholesterol effects on lipoproteinemia, arylesterase activity, and CYP7A1 expression in Zucker fa/fa rats.
Ginsenosides promoted liver cholesterol metabolism due to upregulation of CYP7A1.
Title: Increased effects of ginsenosides on the expression of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase but not the bile salt export pump are involved in cholesterol metabolism.
Portal blood FGF15/19 levels remain unchanged while the corresponding ileal mRNA and liver CYP7A1 levels change significantly in cholesterol fed rats.
Title: FGF15/19 protein levels in the portal blood do not reflect changes in the ileal FGF15/19 or hepatic CYP7A1 mRNA levels.
Capsaicinoids consumption down-regulated the mRNA levels of HMG-CoA reductase and CYP7A1 in the cholesterol-free diet group but up-regulated the CYP7A1 level in the cholesterol-enriched diet group.
Title: Hypocholesterolemic effect of capsaicinoids in rats fed diets with or without cholesterol.
study shows ability of EGCG to raise plasma bile acid concentrations, mainly through Cyp7a1 upregulation, and to decrease bile production through reduction in Mrp2-mediated bile acid-independent bile flow
Title: Cholestatic effect of epigallocatechin gallate in rats is mediated via decreased expression of Mrp2.
insulin-dependent suppression results in impairment of the hepatic cholesterol/bile acid metabolisms
Title: Insulin-dependent suppression of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase is a possible link between glucose and cholesterol metabolisms.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
