Résumé

The hepatic conversion of cholesterol to bile acids is an important mechanism for the elimination of excess dietary cholesterol. Bile acid biosynthesis and transport are regulated by the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a member of the of nuclear hormone receptor gene superfamily. Thus, therapeutic strategies that target FXR represent a promising new approach for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Recent studies have provided new evidence in support of the potential for FXR ligands as antihypercholesterolemic agents.
