Differential action of glucocorticoids on apolipoprotein E gene expression in macrophages and hepatocytes.

Differential action of glucocorticoids on apolipoprotein E gene expression in macrophages and hepatocytes.

Apolipoprotein E (apoE) has anti-atherosclerotic properties, being involved in the transport and clearance of cholesterol-rich lipoproteins as well as in cholesterol efflux from cells. We hypothesized that glucocorticoids may exert anti-inflammatory properties by increasing the level of macrophage-d...
