Ezetimibe normalizes metabolic defects in mice lacking ABCG5 and ABCG8
The ATP binding cassette transporters ABCG5 (G5) and ABCG8 (G8) limit the accumulation of neutral sterols by restricting sterol uptake from the intestine and promoting sterol excretion into bile. Humans and mice lacking G5 and G8 (G5G8−/−) accumulate plant sterols in the blood and tissues. However,...
