{"title":"Gene Expression of Cyp7a1 in Liver Tissue of Type 2 Diabetic Rats Treated with Fenugreek and/or Metformin.","authors":"Saloni Garg, Urmila Kagal","doi":"10.4103/ijabmr.ijabmr_165_24","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/ijabmr.ijabmr_165_24","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background and aim: </strong>In the liver, glucose appears to affect gene transcription. High blood sugar boosts bile acid (BA) synthesis and mRNA expression of the cholesterol-7α-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) gene, a key BA regulator.
