Subterranean burrows of plateau zokors (<i>Eospalax baileyi</i>) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau become significantly colder and more hypoxic with increasing altitude. Because cholesterol biosynthesis is highly oxygen-intensive, it is typically inhibited by hypoxia. Here, our findings revealed that with increasing altitude, the expression and activation of SREBP2, alongside FDFT1 and SQLE expression, were significantly upregulated in the liver. Furthermore, the incomplete degradation of SQLE produc ...[more]
