Modulation of LDL receptor expression and promoter methylation in HepG2 cells treated with a Corylus avellana L. extract

Modulation of LDL receptor expression and promoter methylation in HepG2 cells treated with a Corylus avellana L. extract

The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of an ethanolic extract of C. avellana on the molecular pathway(s) regulating the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in HepG2 cells, mainly in terms of epigenetics. We demonstrated that viability, proliferation and cell cycle distribution were not...
