Cholesterol transporter proteins in HepG2 cells can be modulated by phenolic compounds present in Opuntia ficus-indica aqueous solutions

Increased blood cholesterol is a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This study tested the hypothesis that phenolic compounds can modulate the level of cholesterol transporters including Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) and ATP-binding cassette transporters in liver cells.
