Modulation of plasma lipid levels and cholesterol kinetics by phytosterol versus phytostanol esters
Journal of Lipid Research, 2000 It has been suggested that phytosterol and phytostanol esters possess similar cholesterol-lowering properties, however, whether mechanisms responsible are identical has not been addressed.

A method for rapid microsynthesis of radioactive cholesterol esters
Journal of Lipid Research, 1964 A simple method for synthesizing esters of labeled cholesterol of high specific activity is described. The formation of acyl chlorides takes 10 min and they are reacted with labeled cholesterol to form the cholesterol esters in another 5 min. Yields were

Apolipoprotein E4 is deficient in inducing macrophage ABCA1 expression and stimulating the Sp1 signaling pathway. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 ATP binding cassette A1 (ABCA1) is a membrane protein that promotes cellular cholesterol efflux. Using RAW 264.7 macrophages, we studied the relative effects of apolipoprotein (apo) E3 and apoE4 on ABCA1 and on the signaling pathway that regulates its ...

Effect of phospholipids and bile acids on cholesterol nucleation time and vesicular/micellar cholesterol in gallbladder bile of patients with cholesterol stones [PDF]
, 1993 Supersaturation and rapid nucleation of cholesterol in bile are of key importance in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones. While the effects of bile acids and phospholipids on cholesterol saturation of bile have been extensively studied, their ...

Incorporation of labeled cholesterol esters into chylomicrons in vitro
Journal of Lipid Research, 1966 Labeled cholesterol esters were incorporated into chylomicrons in vitro by adding an acetone solution of the cholesterol ester to a suspension of washed chylomicrons. The physical and metabolic properties of the added labeled ester were the same as those

Urinary cholesterol in cancer screening [PDF]
, 1982 Cholesterol determinations in morning urine samples were taken in 235 selected patients with a positive test for microscopic hematuria. Values ranged from 0.2 to 76.0 mg (median 5.5) in 23 patients with urologic malignancies and from 0.1 to 33.4 mg ...

Early steps in steroidogenesis: intracellular cholesterol trafficking
Journal of Lipid Research, 2011 Steroid hormones are made from cholesterol, primarily derived from lipoproteins that enter cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis. In endo-lysosomes, cholesterol is released from cholesterol esters by lysosomal acid lipase (LAL; disordered in Wolman ...
