The Human ABCG1 Transporter Mobilizes Plasma Membrane and Late Endosomal Non-Sphingomyelin-Associated-Cholesterol for Efflux and Esterification

open access: yesBiology, 2014
We have previously shown that GFP-tagged human ABCG1 on the plasma membrane (PM) and in late endosomes (LE) mobilizes sterol on both sides of the membrane lipid bilayer, thereby increasing cellular cholesterol efflux to lipid surfaces.

Quinic Acid and Synthetic Derivatives in Medicinal Chemistry

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
Quinic acid and its derivatives are gaining recognition as versatile scaffolds in drug discovery. This review explores their emerging roles in inflammation, infection, cancer, and metabolic disorders, highlighting recent advances that position them beyond chlorogenic acids as promising platforms for therapeutic innovation. Quinic acid (QA) is a natural

Normal cholesterol absorption in rats deficient in intestinal acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase activity

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1987
Acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyl transferase and/or cholesterol esterase may regulate the esterification and absorption of exogenous cholesterol. To assess this, mucosal acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyl transferase activity was inhibited selectively with

Photochemical Aerobic Upcycling of Polystyrene Plastics via Indium Salt‐Mediated Synergistic Catalysis

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
This study presents a practical aerobic photochemical strategy for the upcycling of polystyrene waste, combining bromine radical mediation with InBr3 catalysis. The approach efficiently depolymerizes diverse PS materials under mild conditions, yielding benzoic acid and enabling downstream production of value‐added compounds. The photochemical upcycling

Hepatic VLDL secretion : DGAT1 determines particle size but not particle number, which can be supported entirely by DGAT2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We investigated whether, in view of its activity being expressed on both aspects of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER; dual membrane topology), diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) plays a distinctive role in determining the triglyceride (TAG) content of

Increased prebeta-HDL levels, cholesterol efflux, and LCAT-mediated esterification in mice expressing the human cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) transgenes.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1996
The effects of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) on the distribution of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I between high density lipoprotein (HDL) subspecies and its impact on efflux and esterification of cell-derived cholesterol was studied in transgenic ...

A low density lipoprotein-sized particle isolated from human atherosclerotic lesions is internalized by macrophages via a non-scavenger-receptor mechanism.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1990
A lipoprotein particle designated A-LDL, which contains apolipoprotein B (apoB) and which is the size of plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL), was isolated from homogenates of human aortic athersclerotic plaques by a combination of affinity ...

ACAT1, Cav-1, and PrP expression in brains and skin fibroblasts from Sarda breed sheep with scrapie-resistant and scrapie-susceptible genotype. [PDF]

open access: yes
Scrapie is an infective ovine neurodegenerative disease; the only identified component of the infectious agent being an aberrant isoform (PrPSc) of the cellular prion protein (PrPC). So far, no means for ante-mortem diagnosis are available for Scrapie as

Genetic obesity increases pancreatic expression of mitochondrial proteins which regulate cholesterol efflux in BRIN-BD11 insulinoma cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.
