Changes to cholesterol trafficking in macrophages by Leishmania parasites infection [PDF]
, 2017 Leishmania spp. are protozoan parasites that are transmitted by sandfly vectors during blood sucking to vertebrate hosts and cause a spectrum of diseases called leishmaniases.

Cholesterol oxides inhibit cholesterol esterification by lecithin: cholesterol acyl transferase
Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2009 Cholesterol oxides are atherogenic and can affect the activity of diverse important enzymes for the lipidic metabolism. The effect of 7β-hydroxycholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, cholestan-3β,5α,6β-triol,5,6β ...

Bad cholesterol and good mood: exploring the link
Open Journal of Psychiatry and Allied Sciences, 2016 It is a well-known fact that high cholesterol increases the risks of heart disease. Hence, physicians actively encourage cholesterol-lowering interventions using medications and lifestyle modifications.

Phase diagram of a ternary mixture of cholesterol and saturated and unsaturated lipids calculated from a microscopic model [PDF]
Published in Physical Review Letters, 96, 098101 (2006)., 2005 We employ a molecular model to study a ternary mixture of saturated lipid, with tails of sixteen carbons, a mono unsaturated lipid with tails of eighteen carbons, and cholesterol. The model, solved within mean-field theory, produces several forms of phase diagrams depending upon the relative strengths of interactions, but only one that shows the ...

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.

The impact of a carbon nanotube on the cholesterol domain localized on a protein surface [PDF]
Solid State Communications, volume 150, issue (9, 10), pages 415-
418 (2010), 2011 The influence of a single walled carbon nanotube on the structure of a cholesterol cluster (domain) developed over the surface of the endothelial protein 1LQV has been investigated using the classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique. We have observed a substantial impact of carbon nanotube on the arrangement of the cholesterol domain.

How cholesterol stiffens unsaturated lipid membranes
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Cholesterol regulates critical cell functions, including lysis, viral budding, and antibiotic resistance, by modifying the bending rigidity of cell membranes; i.e., the ability of membranes to bend or withstand mechanical stresses.

Raft-like domain formation in model lipid-cholesterol aggregation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 To understand mechanism of cell-membrane compartmentalization, we studied coarse-grained model systems consisting of lipid and cholesterol molecules. Cholesterol plays crucial role in lateral phase segregation in the bilayered lipid membrane to form cholesterol rich liquid ordered domains, termed as `rafts'.
