This hypothesis proposes that LXRβ-selective agonists enhance CYP2J2 expression and activity to increase protective DHA epoxide generation, simultaneously addressing both cholesterol dysregulation and membrane rigidification in Alzheimer's disease. LXR signaling is known to upregulate cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in lipid metabolism, including CYP2J2, through direct transcriptional control. By selectively activating LXRβ, this approach would increase endogenous CYP2J2-mediated conversion of
## Mechanistic Overview
LXRβ-Selective Agonism as a Precision Therapeutic for APOE4-Driven Myelin Deficits starts from the claim that modulating NR1H2 (LXRβ) within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview LXRβ-Selective Agonism as a Precision Therapeutic for APOE4-Driven Myelin Deficits starts from the claim that APOE4 impairs the ability of oligodendrocytes to efflux and distribute cholesterol for
