In this study, we examined whether nobiletin affects the expression of miR-590/LPL and its relative effects on lipid accumulation and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in human THP-1 macrophages. RT-qPCR analysis showed that nobiletin increased the expression of miR-590.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a rate-limiting enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of the triglyceride (TG) core of circulating TG-rich lipoproteins including chylomicrons (CM), low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). A variety of parenchymal cells can synthesize and secrete LPL. Recent studies have demonstrated that complicated processes are involved in LPL biosynthesis, secretion and transport.
