Anti-atherogenic effects of resveratrol via liver X receptor α-dependent upregulation of ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 and G1 in macrophages

Anti-atherogenic effects of resveratrol via liver X receptor α-dependent upregulation of ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 and G1 in macrophages

Resveratrol (RSV), a phenolic component, is found in grape skins, peanuts, pistachios and red wine. RSV has protective activities in atherosclerosis, yet the detailed mechanisms are not fully elucidated. In the present study, we observed that RSV inhibited oxLDL-mediated lipid accumulation through t...
