چکیده

Cholesterol synthesis in cell culture in the presence of D2O yields a spectrum of enriched molecules having a relative abundance that indicates random substitution of deuterium for hydrogen. Quantitation of the absolute rate of cholesterol synthesis is obtained by isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Mevinolin and 26-hydroxycholesterol both decrease cholesterol synthesis rate but have a discordant effect on HMG-CoA reductase activity.

Metabolism in Cancer Cells in Monolayer Culture Effect of Cell Density and Confluency on Cholesterol

Cholesterol metabolism in four gynecological cancer cell lines in monolayer culture was evaluated as a function of cell density. The rate of uptake and degradation of [125l]iodinated low-density lipoprotein increased during the first 24 to 48 hr of culture, but decreased thereafter. Once the cells became con fluent, the rate of metabolism of [125l]iodinated low-density lipoprotein was only one-...

Bile acid synthesis in cell culture.

Confluent cultures of Hep G2 cells were found to synthesize chenodeoxycholic and cholic acids continually. Chenodeoxycholic acid was synthesized at the rate of 58 +/- 8.6 micrograms/96 h, a rate more than 7-fold greater than that for cholic acid. Addition of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-triol but not the -3 alpha, 7 alpha-diol was followed by an increase in cholic acid synthesis...

An amplification polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for the direct detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in urethral and endocervical swab specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic women and men were compared to standard culture technique. During 6 months, 300 endocervical swab specimens from 205 asymptomatic women (64.4%) and 95 symptomatic women (31.6%), and 187 urethral swab specime...
