Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4alpha (HNF-4alpha) modulates the expression of liver-specific genes that control the production (e.g. apolipoprotein [apo] A-I and apo B) and clearance (e.g. apo C-III) of plasma lipoproteins. We reported that the CoA thioesters of amphipathic carboxylic hypolipidemic drugs
