Duodenal Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 expression was negatively correlated with liver X receptor expression in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Sang Bong Ahn, Dae Won Jun, Kiseok Jang, Byung Hoon Lee, Kye Jung Shin
Korean J Intern Med. 2019;34(4):777-784. Published online February 23, 2018
Background/Aims: Intestinal cholesterol absorption includes intestinal Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) and is an important target pathway in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We investigated the expression of NPC1L1 and its correlation with liver X receptor (LXR) expression in peripheral mon..

Ezetimibe decreased nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score but not hepatic steatosis
Hyo Young Lee, Dae Won Jun, Hyun Jung Kim, Hyunwoo Oh, Waqar Khalid Saeed, Hyeongsik Ahn, Ramsey C. Cheung, Mindie H. Nguyen
Korean J Intern Med. 2019;34(2):296-304. Published online March 20, 2018
Background/Aims: A number of clinical trials reported varying effects of cholesterol lowering agents in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. We, therefore, assessed the changes in hepatic steatosis and NAFLD activity score (NAS) after treatment with cholesterol lowering agents in NAFLD..
