Abstract
The present invention relates to an assay system and method for testing compounds for their ability to regulate the hepatic lipase (HL) promoter. In particular, the invention relates to the identification of estrogen receptor ligands having this activity. Compounds that inhibit HL promoter activity are useful as leads, or on their own, to develop therapeutics in the prevention of heart disease.
