LXR/RXR ligand activation enhances basolateral efflux of β-sitosterol in CaCo-2 cells

To examine whether intestinal ABCA1 was responsible for the differences observed between cholesterol and β-sitosterol absorption, ABCA1-facilitated β-sitosterol efflux was investigated in CaCo-2 cells following liver X receptor/retinoid X receptor (LXR/RXR) activation. Both the LXR agonist T0901317...
