Abstract

In this study, we investigated the impact of enhancing cholesterol delivery to mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase, via steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), on the expression of genes involved in macrophage cholesterol homeostasis and efflux of cholesterol to apolipoprotein (apo) AI.
