For proper cholesterol metabolism, normal expression and function of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor, is required. Among the factors that regulate overall homeostasis HDL nuclear farnesoid X plays an important role. Guggulsterone, bioactive compound present in natural product gugulipid, antagonist this receptor. This widely used globally as lipid-lowering agent, although its anti-atherogenic cardiovascular benefit animal models or humans...
