Induction of Hyphae in Cultures of Pityrosporum by Cholesterol and Cholesterol Esters
The effect of cholesterol and cholesterol esters on Pityrosporum cultures has been studied. A mixture of 0.25% to 2.0% of cholesterol:cholesteryl stearate:glyceryl monostearate (2.0:1.5:2.0) added to Bacto Yeast Morphology Agar plus oleic acid was able to induce hyphae in cultures of both Pityrosporum orbiculare and P. ovale.

Cholesterol oxides inhibit cholesterol esterification by lecithin: cholesterol acyl transferase [PDF]
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 ...

In vivo turnover of different cholesterol esters in rat liver and plasma
Turnover rates of different cholesterol esters in rat liver and plasma were determined after injecting fasting rats intravenously with mevalonate-2-C14. Liver and plasma samples were collected at time intervals of 21 min to 24 hr.

Influence of diet on the composition of plasma cholesterol esters in man
The effect on the plasma cholesterol esters of diets rich in either carbohydrate, chocolate, or safflower oil was studied sequentially in two men. The changes in the cholesterol esters of the major plasma lipoproteins were studied by measuring (a) the ...

Evidence for a common biliary cholesterol and VLDL cholesterol precursor pool in rat liver.
Hepatic free cholesterol levels are influenced by cholesterol synthesis and ester formation, which, in turn, might regulate cholesterol secretion into bile and plasma.

Interaction of cholesterol ester and triglyceride in human plasma very low density lipoprotein1
The properties of human plasma very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), and their extracted lipids were compared using calorimetric, X-ray scattering, and polarizing microscopy techniques.

Effect of a high intake of conjugated linoleic acid on lipoprotein levels in healthy human subjects [PDF]
Background -Trans fatty acids are produced either by industrial hydrogenation or by biohydrogenation in the rumens of cows and sheep. Industrial trans fatty acids lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL ...
