Caffeine blocks SREBP2-induced hepatic PCSK9 expression to enhance LDLR-mediated cholesterol clearance

Caffeine may reduce cardiovascular disease risk, but the underlying mechanisms for these effects are incompletely understood. Here the authors report that caffeine inhibits the activation of the transcription factor SREBP2 to promote LDLc clearance through the PCSK9-LDLR axis.
