| 1 | Further investigation revealed that lack of testosterone induced increased proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and decreased low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) both in vivo and in vitro. | Testosterone | proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Further investigation revealed that lack of testosterone induced increased proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and decreased low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) both in vivo and in vitro. | Testosterone | proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | Moreover, the androgen receptor (AR) antagonist flutamide mimicked the effects of testosterone deficiency on PCSK9 and LDLR indicating the role of AR as a mediator in triggering attenuating liver cholesterol uptake in which testosterone instead of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the major functional form of androgen. | Testosterone | proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | Conclusion: Testosterone deficiency attenuated cholesterol liver uptake mediated by the PCSK9-LDLR pathway, in which AR and testosterone without transforming to DHT play important roles. | Testosterone | proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | Conclusion: Testosterone deficiency attenuated cholesterol liver uptake mediated by the PCSK9-LDLR pathway, in which AR and testosterone without transforming to DHT play important roles. | Testosterone | proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 | Homo sapiens |
