We tested the hypothesis that pregnane X receptor (PXR), a xenobiotic-sensing nuclear receptor, regulates the level of circulating atherogenic lipids in humans and utilized mouse experiments to identify the mechanisms involved. Experimental Approach We performed serum NMR metabolomics in healthy volunteers administered rifampicin, a prototyp...
