Abstract
⺠The cholesterol metabolite 27-hydroxycholesterol induces endoplasmic reticulum stress. ⺠Endoplasmic reticulum stress activates CHOP and down-regulates C/EBPα expression. ⺠Down-regulation of C/EBPα negatively regulates the adipocytokine leptin. ⺠siRNA to CHOP and C/EBPα over-expression preclude down-regulation of leptin.
