Potential functionality and digestibility of oryzanol as determined using in vitro cell culture models
… the micellar solubility of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters and inhibiting cholesterol esterase-facilitated cholesteryl ester hydrolysis. The results showed that preincubation of cholesterol and γ-oryzanol for six hours significantly reduced the cholesterol uptake into cells. γ-Oryzanol …

Studies in cholestrol metabolism
… converted to vitamins D by ultraviolet light. Cholesteryl esters are found in large quantities, together with sphingomyelin, in the myelin sheaths of nerve fibres, where these lipids may have an insulating function necessary at least for saltatory conduction.

Analysis of the function and subcellular localization of FAT/CD36 in hepatocytes and transfected cell lines of hepatic and non-hepatic origin.
… to hepatic LCFA uptake and/or the uptake of cholesteryl esters (and other lipids) from HDL. The subcellular localization of FAT/CD36 has been explored in rat liver and in cell lines of hepatic and non-hepatic origin, especially with respect to its association with specialized plasma membrane …

The Influence of Lipid Composition on the Binding of LDL to Chondroitin 6-Sulphate
… phospholipid content, free cholesterol content, cholesteryl ester content, triglyceride content, and size. Correlations of these characteristics with LDL-C6S binding were analyzed using a turbidity assay. Our results showed that there is no correlation between LDL-C6S binding and phase transition …

Hyperinsulinemia and Hyperglycemia Contribute to Diabetic Complications Through Cytokine Resistance and Altered Macrophage Function
… conditions macrophages are more prone to take up cholesteryl esters. Taken together these findings indicate that the hyperinsulinemic and hyperglycemic conditions associated with type 2 DM produce cytokine resistance in IRS-dependent signaling systems potentially resulting in a proinflammatory …

ROLE OF LECITHIN:CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE (LCAT) IN BRAIN CHOLESTEROL METABOLISM AND ITS INVOLVEMENT IN ALZHEIMER¿S DISEASE
… and to evaluate cholesterol esterification, cholesteryl esters (CEs) composition in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in AD. To highlight the contribution of different apoE isoforms in the activation of LCAT, plasma cholesterol esterification rate (CER) was evaluated in 311 controls who …

HEPATIC LIPID METABOLISM: THE ROLES OF ACAT2 AND ABCG5/G8 IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND PREVENTION OF DISEASE
… a role for ACAT2 and the hepatic ACAT2-derived cholesteryl esters (CE) in hepatic triglyceride metabolism. Data are presented which indicate that CE can limit the mobilization of triglyceride from the liver and lead to hepatic steatosis associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). …

The Signaling Pathway of Oxysterol-Induced Apoptosis in Macrophages.
… treated with 7KC accumulated ACAT-derived cholesteryl and 7-ketocholesteryl esters. An inhibitor of cholesterol trafficking, U18666A, specifically prevented the accumulation of cholesteryl esters, but not 7-ketocholesteryl esters nor the induction of apoptosis. An inhibitor of …

Metabolism of omega-3 fatty acids in carriers of apolipoprotein E epsilon 4
… (PE), FFA, triglyceride (TG) and cholesteryl esters (CE). Firstly, lipids were extracted from the plasma and then separated into CE, TG, FFA, and PL using thin layer chromatography. PL were further separated into PE, PC and LPC using a second thin layer chromatography plate. The …

Sterol Binding to Niemann-Pick Type C1 Disease Protein (NPC1) - Implications for its Function in Cholesterol Transport
… working model: after lysosomal hydrolysis of LDL-cholesteryl esters, cholesterol binds to NPC2, which transfers it to NPC1(NTD), reversing its orientation and allowing insertion of its isooctyl side chain into the outer-limiting lysosomal membranes.

Fatty acid metabolism and SNPs related to obesity in a longitudinal study of Swedish men: Predictors of metabolic syndrome
… of SNPs were mainly with enzymes and/or FAs in cholesteryl esters, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Variables of the ULSAM cohort that significantly correlated with one or more SNPs at age 50 were 16:1n-7, 22:6n-3, SCD-16, delta-5-desaturase (D5D), elongase, and HDL-C. The D5D …

The Hydrophobic Handoff Between NPC2 and the N-Terminal Domain of NPC1 in the Export of Cholesterol from Lysosomes
… and NPC1 were unable to rescue LDL-stimulated cholesteryl ester synthesis in NPC2 or NPC1-deficient cells, respectively, in contrast to wild-type NPC2 and NPC1. With these data, we envision that NPC2 binds cholesterol the instant that it is released from LDL, either as the free sterol or after …

TRACEABILITY OF MOUNTAIN CHEESES: IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS

Apolipoprotein biosynthesis and turnover in mammalian small intestine

Biochemistry in healthy and neoplastic human tissues: metabolic alteration revealed by HR-MAS nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
