Atorvastatin Induces FXR and CYP7A1 Activation as a Result of the Sequential Action of PPAR γ/PGC-1α/HNF-4α in Hep3B Cells

CONCLUSIONS: Atorvastatin induces FXR and CYP7A1 activation as a result of sequential action of PPARγ-PGC-1α-HNF-4α in human hepatocytes. We propose that atorvastatin enhances solubility of cholesterol in bile by simultaneously activating of FXR and CYP7A1.PMID:33686046 | DOI:10.4166/kjg.2020.156
