This hypothesis proposes that selective LXRβ agonism primarily functions through transcriptional upregulation of ABCA1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1) to facilitate cholesterol efflux from activated microglia and prevent pathological lipid accumulation in neuroinflammatory conditions. LXRβ activation would induce ABCA1 expression, creating a robust cholesterol export mechanism that reduces intracellular cholesterol burden in microglia while simultaneously promoting the formation of properl

The hypothesis proposes that ω-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is metabolized by CYP2J2 to generate protective epoxides that shield synaptic membranes from amyloid-beta (Aβ)-induced rigidification. Evidence from planar lipid bilayer experiments demonstrates that CYP2J2-derived epoxides mitigate Aβ-induced membrane rigidity (pmid:31243156). Aβ oligomers are known to increase membrane cholesterol content by approximately 40% and expand raft domain size in cortical neurons (pmid:24503041). Supporting
