The concentration of LDL-cholesteroi in the blood is a function of its rate of production and rate of removal from the bloixistream. Diet influences LDL-cho-lesterol by changing its rate of removal or clearance, according to the following scenario. Let us briefly return to the topics of proteins and DMA, A transcription factor called sterol response element binding protein (SREbP) binds to a stretch of DNA called the sterol response element. The sterol response element has the structure CACCCCAC. In discussing any sequence of DNA, it is conventional to...

Sterol-response element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are transcription factors that coor-dinately increase the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol (Chapters 6, 7, and 14). The transcriptionally active forms of SREBPs are generated from precursor proteins by a sterol-dependent proteolytic cleavage [8]. Several studies have indicated that an increased production of transcriptionally active SREBPs stimulates VLDL secretion.
