HYPOLIPIDEMIC AGENT Z-GUGGULSTERONE: METABOLISM INTERPLAYS WITH INDUCTION OF CARBOXYLESTERASE AND BILE SALT EXPORT PUMP

Hypolipidemic agent Z-guggulsterone: metabolism interplays with induction of carboxylesterase and bile salt export pump

Z-Guggulsterone is a major ingredient in the Indian traditional hypolipidemic remedy guggul.A study in mice has established that its hypolipidemic effect involves the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), presumably by acting as an antagonist of this receptor.It is generally assumed that the antagonism leads to induction of cytochrome P450 7A1 (CYP7A1), the
