Abstract
► The TSPO cholesterol recognition/interaction amino acid consensus (CRAC) was used in vivo. ► The VLNYYVWR CRAC sequence has hypocholesterolemic properties. ► The VLNYYVWR CRAC sequence has anti-atherogenic properties. ► CRAC treatment prevents high cholesterol diet-induced serum creatine kinase increase. ► The VLNYYVWR CRAC sequence has no short-term toxicity in animal models.
