NR1H3 and hyperlipidemia: lucidum</i> polysaccharides (GLP) showed distinct lipid-lowering abilities by enhancing the response to oxidative stress and inflammation, adjusting bile acid production and lipid regulation factors, and facilitating reverse cholesterol transport through Nrf2-Keap1, NF-κB, LXRα-ABCA1/ABCG1, CYP7A1-CYP27A1, and FXR-FGF15 pathways, hence we delved deeper into the effects of GLP on hyperlipidemia, focusing on its structural characterization, gut microbiota, and fecal metabolites.
