The effect of pitavastatin on the mRNA levels of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha), cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in HepG2 cells was examined to establish whether pitavastatin affects bile acid synthesis and if so, to determine a possible molecular mechanism.
