Triglyceride and cholesteryl ester hydrolysis
Cultured rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells were converted to foam cells by exposure to sonicated lipid droplets of defined composition using an inverted culture technique. Uptake of the lipid droplets by the cells was shown to be dependent on the time of exposure to the droplets and on the mass of droplets presented to the cells. A comparison of the hydrolysis of triolein and cholesteryl oleate...
متن کاملAccelerated Cholesteryl Ester Transfer
To discern the mechanism(s) that underlie abnormal cholesteryl ester transfer (CET) in patients with hypercholesterolemia, we have studied this dysfunctional step in reverse cholesterol transport in 13 subjects with genetically heterogeneous forms of hypercholesterolemia (HC). In all HC patients, the mass of CE transferred in whole plasma from HDL to VLDL and LDL increased rapidly initially and...
متن کاملStructural and biophysical insight into cholesteryl ester-transfer protein.
CETP (cholesteryl ester-transfer protein) is essential for neutral lipid transfer between HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and plays a critical role in the reverse cholesterol transfer pathway. In clinical trials, CETP inhibitors increase HDL levels and reduce LDL levels, and therefore may be used as a potential treatment for atherosclerosis. In this review, we c...
متن کاملAcyl unsaturation and cholesteryl ester miscibility in surfaces. Formation of lecithin-cholesteryl ester complexes.
The surface behavior of a series of cholesteryl esters was studied in mixtures with a model phospholipid, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine. The cholesteryl esters were representative of the predominant forms occurring naturally and qualitative similarities in their phase behavior permits generalization of their surface properties. Quantitative differences, however, show that the availab...
متن کاملMeibomian Gland Dysfunction and Hypercholesterolemia
High cholesterol is a known risk factor for ischemic heart, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease. Previous studies have postulated that hypercholesterolemia (defined as total cholesterol of at least 200 mg/dL) also plays a role in the development of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). In this observational, case-control study, Pinna et al. investigated the correlation between MGD and...
