Abstract

Highlights: [•] Arctigenin enhanced cholesterol efflux in oxLDL-loaded THP-1 macrophages. [•] The expression of ABCA1, ABCG1 and apoE was upregulated in arctigenin-treated cells. [•] Arctigenin promoted the expression of PPAR-γ and LXR-α. [•] Inhibition of PPAR-γ or LXR-α reversed arctigenin-mediated biological effects. [•] Arctigenin promotes cholesterol efflux via activation of PPAR-γ/LXR-α/ABCA1 pathway. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
