The beneficial effects of ginger on dyslipidemia may be attributed to its ability to enhance lipid metabolism by modulating the expression of specific marker enzymes, such as retinoid-binding protein (RBP) [97], regulating carbohydrate conversion to TG by modulating the expression of carbohydrate response element-binding protein (ChREBP) [98], inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis by targeting HMG-CoA reductase, and promoting cholesterol conversion to bile acids by activating cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase [99, 100]. The gene discussed is MLXIPL; the disease is metabolic syndrome.
