Genetic obesity increases pancreatic expression of mitochondrial proteins which regulate cholesterol efflux in BRIN-BD11 insulinoma cells [PDF]
, 2019 Pancreatic β-cells are sensitive to fluctuations in cholesterol content, which can damage the insulin secretion pathway, contributing to the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Pregnancy and the Biliary Tract
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2000 Pregnancy induces many physiological changes, some of which may have pathological results. In population studies, gallstones were found in 6.5% to 8.4% of nulliparous women, and in 18.4% to 19.3% of women with two to three or more pregnancies.

Serum cholesterol response to dietary cholesterol [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1984 Serum cholesterol change, delta Chol mg/dl, from change only in dietary cholesterol, mg/1,000 kcal, x, was analyzed with data from 39 controlled experiments on 64 adults with the model delta Chol = b(x2k-x1k). Values of b were found by iteration for exponents k = 0.3 to k = i.0 yielding eight regression equations to check predicted against observed ...

Biliary cholesterol crystallization characterized by single-crystal cryogenic electron diffraction
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 Cholesterol crystals are the building blocks of cholesterol gallstones. The exact structure of early-forming crystals is still controversial. We combined cryogenic-temperature transmission electron microscopy with cryogenic-temperature electron ...

Dendrogenin A drives LXR to trigger lethal autophagy in cancers
Nature Communications, 2017 Dendrogenin A, cholesterol metabolite, has tumor suppressive properties but the mechanisms are unknown. Here the authors show that Dendrogenin A can induce autophagy-mediated cell death in both melanoma and acute myeloid leukaemia.
