A comparison of delipidated sera used in studies of sterol synthesis by human mononuclear leukocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sterol synthesis in human mononuclear leukocytes is stimulated by delipidated serum. Synthesis in media containing serum delipidated by three different methods is compared. Significant differences between subjects are shown and the differences are maximized by measuring synthesis in serum delipidated by extraction with butanol-diisopropyl ether 40:60 and diethyl ether.

The present study investigates the antioxidant, anticancer, anticholinesterase, anti-genotoxic activities and phenolic contents of flower, fruit and seed methanol extracts of Hypericum retusum AUCHER. The amounts of protocatechuic acid, catechin, caffeic acid and syringic acid in methanol extracts were determined by HPLC. Total phenolic content of H. retusum seed extract was found more than fru...
متن کاملAbnormal induction of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase in leukocytes from subjects with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
Human leukocytes isolated from fresh defibinated blood were shown to utilize acetate and mevalonate for sterol synthesis. The capacity of the leukocytes to synthesize sterols is limited severely as compared to their ability to convert mevalonate into farnesyl pyrophosphate (which they hydrolyze rapidly to free farnesol) and into squalene. When leukocytes are incubated in a medium containing lip...
متن کاملLovastatin treatment inhibits sterol synthesis and induces HMG-CoA reductase activity in mononuclear leukocytes of normal subjects.
The mechanism by which competitive inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase decrease serum cholesterol is incompletely understood. The few available data in humans suggest that chronic administration of the competitive inhibitor, lovastatin, decreases serum cholesterol with little or no change in total body sterol synthesis. To further define the effect of lovasta...
