Frequent cholesterol feedback as an aid in lowering cholesterol levels
… Tech were stratified, based upon level of total cholesterol (TC) and length of time in the Cardiac Program, and then randomly assigned to either experimental or control groups. Participants ranged in age from 43 to 68 years and all had baseline TC levels greater than 200 mg/dl. There were no …

Cholesterol and egg activation
… are infertile, apparently due to their abnormal, cholesterol-enriched HDL particles. In this thesis, my colleagues and I examined the growth and meiotic progression of SR-BI KO oocytes and found that they underwent normal germinal vesicle breakdown; however, SR-BI KO eggs, which had accumulated …

Studies on the interaction of cholesterol analogues with cholesterol oxidising systems and membrane components
A series of cholesterol analogues possessing side chains with either more or less carbon atoms than cholesterol were synthesised from hyodesoxycholic acid and fully characterised by nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and infra red analysis. These analogues were used in (a) physical …

Protein Sensors for Membrane Cholesterol
The cholesterol content of animal cells is maintained within narrow limits. This regulation applies not only to the overall cholesterol level in the cell, but also to the concentration of cholesterol in the membrane of each organelle. Maintaining the proper level and distribution of cholesterol, …

The Cholesterol Transporter ABCA1 and Cholesterol Accumulation are Key Regulators of Adipose Function in Obesity
… of TG in the past, this dissertation focuses on cholesterol. Adipocytes can account for up to 50% of the body’s free cholesterol storage, but the effect of cholesterol on adipose tissue, and the role of adipose tissue in whole body cholesterol metabolism are relatively understudied. This thesis …

CHOLESTEROL ABSORPTION AND TRANSINTESTINAL CHOLESTEROL EFFLUX (TICE) RATES ARE UNALTERED IN MICE OVEREXPRESSING INTESTINAL SR-BI.
It has recently been shown that reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) does not rely solely on biliary secretion (37), but also involves the direct excretion of cholesterol by the proximal small intestine through a process known as trans-intestinal cholesterol efflux (TICE). There is almost no …

Variability of Cholesterol Accessibility in Human Red Blood Cells Measured Using a Bacterial Cholesterol Binding Toxin
Cholesterol partitions into accessible and sequestered pools in cell membranes. Here, we describe a new assay using fluorescently-tagged anthrolysin O, a cholesterol-binding bacterial toxin, to measure accessible cholesterol in human red blood cells (RBCs). Accessible cholesterol levels were stable …

Enzymatic degradation of egg yolk cholesterol
… gas chromatographic method for the determination cholesterol in egg yolk and processed foods was developed from a method of Kovacs (1990). A sample is heated in a sealed tube with a solution of potassium hydroxide in ethanol containing the internal standard, dihydrocholesterol. The sterols are …

Regulation of Cholesterol Biosynthesis in Hepatocytes
Hypercholesterolemia, a condition of high cholesterol levels in the circulation, poses a major risk for developing cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis. A common method of reducing plasma cholesterol levels relies on the administration of drugs that limit cholesterol synthesis or uptake, …

Microarray Analysis Identifies Novel Cholesterol Regulated Genes, Including Pcsk9 Which Regulates LDL Receptor Function and LDL Cholesterol Levels
<p>Precise regulation of cholesterol levels is necessary for survival of individual cells and the normal functioning of multicellular organisms. Many of the genes important in these processes are regulated at a transcriptional level by the sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) and …
