Transgenic Expression of Cholesterol 7α-Hydroxylase in the Liver Prevents High-Fat Diet–Induced Obesity and Insulin Resistance in Mice

Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the bile acid biosynthetic pathway that converts cholesterol into bile acids in the liver. Recent studies have shown that bile acids may play an important role in maintaining lipid, glucose, and energy homeostasis. However, the role...
