Cholesterol esters form supercooled lipid droplets whose nucleation is facilitated by triacylglycerols. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 Cellular cholesterol can be metabolized to its fatty acid esters, cholesteryl esters (CEs), to be stored in lipid droplets (LDs). With triacylglycerols (TGs), CEs represent the main neutral lipids in LDs. However, while TG melts at ~4 °C, CE melts at ~44

Free cholesterol and cholesterol esters in bovine oocytes: Implications in survival and membrane raft organization after cryopreservation. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 Part of the damage caused by cryopreservation of mammalian oocytes occurs at the plasma membrane. The addition of cholesterol to cell membranes as a strategy to make it more tolerant to cryopreservation has been little addressed in oocytes.

Exploring antimicrobial properties of cholesterol esters: a systematic literature review
All Life, 2022 Antibiotic resistance has become an increasingly common problem in treating infectious diseases caused by pathogenic micro-organisms, and this threat is heightened due to the lack of new antibiotic discoveries since the 1980s.

Cholesterol and Cholesterol Esters in Mycoplasma [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1965 Free and esterified cholesterol were determined in the lipid extract of nine parasitic and saprophytic Mycoplasma strains. The saprophytic strains were usally free from esterified cholesterol. Esterified cholesterol was found in the parasitic strains at a ratio of 1:8 to 1:3 to free cholesterol; in the growth medium the ratio was about 4:1 [4-14C ...

Cholesterol ester droplets and steroidogenesis [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2013 Intracellular lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that contain a number of associated proteins including perilipin (Plin) and vimentin. Cholesteryl ester (CE)-rich LDs normally accumulate in steroidogenic cells and their mobilization is the preferred initial source of cholesterol for steroidogenesis.

Protective role of plant sterol and stanol esters in liver inflammation: insights from mice and humans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The inflammatory component of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can lead to irreversible liver damage. Therefore there is an urgent need to identify novel interventions to combat hepatic inflammation.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983 Nine even-numbered saturated (C4 to C20) and two unsaturated (C18:1, C18:2) cholesterol alkyl ethers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing microscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction.

Polyphenol alkyl ester inhibits membrane cholesterol domain formation through an antioxidant mechanism based, in nonlinear fashion, on chain length [PDF]
, 2017 Under conditions of oxidative stress, cholesterol aggregates into discrete membrane bilayer domains that precipitate the formation of extracellular crystals, a hallmark feature of the advanced atheroma in cardiovascular disease.

Effect of very low-density lipoproteins on lipid transfer in incubated serum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1965 Incubation of human serum solutions low in glyceride content for 16 hr resulted in a net increase of cholesterol esters in all three major human serum lipoprotein classes, namely the very low-density lipoproteins of d < 1.006 (VLDL), low-density ...
