Ezetimibe 11-20 apolipoprotein A2 Homo sapiens 40-48 30500605-9 2019 RESULTS: The results show that ezetimibe increased the expression of Apo A-II but failed to reduce vascular lipid accumulation and macrophage recruitment induced by the HCD diet when Apo A-II was knocked down. Ezetimibe 31-40 apolipoprotein A2 Homo sapiens 69-77 30500605-10 2019 Finally, we found that ezetimibe increased the expression of Apo A-II through HNF4 and PPARalpha transcriptional factors. Ezetimibe 23-32 apolipoprotein A2 Homo sapiens 61-69 30500605-11 2019 CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicates that ezetimibe may not only prevents atherosclerosis by inhibiting cholesterol absorption in the intestine, but also by increasing the expression of Apo A-II in hepatocytes, thereby enhancing reverse cholesterol transport and removing excess cholesterol from the periphery. Ezetimibe 37-46 apolipoprotein A2 Homo sapiens 181-189
