Bioactivities and Phytochemical Studies of Acrocarpus fraxinifolius Bark Wight Arn
TL;DR: The petroleum ether extract (PEE) showed the most bioactive extract, and the hepatoprotective activity of the PEE was evidenced by a significant decrease in the liver function enzymes, i.e. AST, ALT and ALP.

TL;DR: Data suggest that ABCG5 and ABCG8 normally cooperate to limit intestinal absorption and to promote biliary excretion of sterols, and that mutated forms of these transporters predispose to sterol accumulation and atherosclerosis.
