Modulation of plasma lipid levels and cholesterol kinetics by phytosterol versus phytostanol esters
It has been suggested that phytosterol and phytostanol esters possess similar cholesterol-lowering properties, however, whether mechanisms responsible are identical has not been addressed.

Cholesterol and Cholesterol Esters in Mycoplasma [PDF]
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 ...

Exploring antimicrobial properties of cholesterol esters: a systematic literature review
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 ester droplets and steroidogenesis [PDF]
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]
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.

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.

CHOLESTEROL AND CHOLESTEROL ESTER CONTENT OF BOVINE COLOSTRUM [PDF]
The total amount of cholesterol found in colostrum and milk is comparatively low. The amount of cholesterol found in colostrum declines at an ever decreasing rate as milk secretion develops until at 48 hours the cholesterol is nearly the same as that found in milk 3 months or 7 months after parturition. The morning milk differs from the evening milk in

Effect of very low-density lipoproteins on lipid transfer in incubated serum
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 ...

Effect of diet on the cholesterol ester composition of liver and of plasma lipoproteins in the rat
The relationship between the cholesterol ester composition of the liver and the plasma lipoproteins was studied in groups of rats maintained for 5–11 weeks on the following diets: (I) rat pellets, (II) rat pellets with added olive oil and cholesterol ...
