Insulin sensitivity regulates cholesterol metabolism to a greater extent than obesity: lessons from the METSIM Study1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Cholesterol synthesis is upregulated and absorption downregulated in insulin resistance and in type 2 dia-betes. We investigated whether alterations in cholesterol metabolism are observed across the glucose tolerance status, from normoglycemia through ...

Successful Treatment of a Rare Cholesterol Homeostasis Disorder Due to CYP27A1 Gene Mutation with Chenodeoxycholic Acid Therapy

Biomedicines, 2023
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a genetic disorder of the cholesterol metabolic pathway, most often associated with variants in the CYP27A1 gene.

Besnoitia besnoiti infection alters both endogenous cholesterol de novo synthesis and exogenous LDL uptake in host endothelial cells [PDF]

, 2008
Besnoitia besnoiti, an apicomplexan parasite of cattle being considered as emergent in Europe, replicates fast in host endothelial cells during acute infection and is in considerable need for energy, lipids and other building blocks for offspring ...

Inheritance of cholesterol metabolism of probands with high or low cholesterol absorption

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Heredity of cholesterol absorption and synthesis was studied in siblings of hypercholesterolemic probands with low and high serum cholestanol to cholesterol ratio (assumed to indicate low and high absorption of cholesterol, respectively).

Insulin resistance is associated with increased cholesterol synthesis and decreased cholesterol absorption in normoglycemic men

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Type 2 diabetes has been associated with high synthesis and low absorption of cholesterol independent of weight, indicating that insulin resistance may be a link between glucose and cholesterol metabolism.

Nerve Ultrasound Detects Peripheral Nerve Enlargement in Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the CYP27A1 gene, resulting in cholestanol accumulation in various tissues, including peripheral nerves. Polyneuropathy is common but often under‐recognized in CTX.

Fecal Steroids as Tracers of Human Population and Waste Management Practices at the Ancient Maya City of Ucanal, Guatemala

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.
