This hypothesis proposes that selective activation of LXRα (NR1H3) represents a superior therapeutic approach for addressing dyslipidemia by targeting hepatic cholesterol homeostasis rather than microglial cholesterol accumulation. LXRα, predominantly expressed in metabolically active tissues including liver, intestine, and kidney, serves as the primary regulator of whole-body cholesterol efflux and lipid metabolism. Selective LXRα agonism would enhance hepatic APOE production and secretion, inc
This hypothesis proposes that CYP2J2-derived DHA epoxides primarily function by promoting microglial M2 polarization rather than directly protecting synaptic membranes from Aβ-induced rigidification. Microglia are the primary phagocytic cells responsible for Aβ clearance, and their dysfunction contributes significantly to Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. Evidence suggests that DHA epoxides, particularly 19,20-EpDPE, activate PPAR-γ signaling pathways that promote anti-inflammatory M2 microglial
