We determined the extent to which diurnal variation in cholesterol synthesis in liver is controlled by steady-state mRNA levels for the rate-limiting enzyme in the pathway, hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase.

Liver Transplantation to Provide Low-Density-Lipoprotein Receptors and Lower Plasma Cholesterol in a Child with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia [PDF]
A six-year-old girl with severe hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis had two defective genes at the low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor locus, as determined by biochemical studies of cultured fibroblasts.

Cholesterol synthesis in the perfused liver of pregnant hamsters
Pregnancy is a risk factor for the development of cholesterol gallstones. In pregnant women, biliary cholesterol saturation and secretion are increased.

Myristic acid potentiates palmitic acid-induced lipotoxicity and steatohepatitis associated with lipodystrophy by sustaning de novo ceramide synthesis. [PDF]
Palmitic acid (PA) induces hepatocyte apoptosis and fuels de novo ceramide synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Myristic acid (MA), a free fatty acid highly abundant in copra/palmist oils, is a predictor of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and

Effect of evolocumab on cholesterol synthesis and absorption[S]
The effects of cholesterol-lowering drugs, including those that reduce cholesterol synthesis (statins) and those that reduce cholesterol absorption (ezetimibe), on cholesterol absorption and synthesis are well understood. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/

Alterations of intestinal lipoprotein metabolism in diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome [PDF]
Diabetes and metabolic syndrome are associated with abnormal postprandial lipoprotein metabolism, with a significant delay in the clearance of many lipid parameters, including triglycerides and chylomicrons.

Effects of dietary cholesterol on the regulation of total body cholesterol in man
Studies on the interaction of cholesterol absorption, synthesis, and excretion were carried out in eight patients using sterol balance techniques. Absorption of dietary cholesterol was found to increase with intake; up to 1 g of cholesterol was absorbed ...

Cholesterol Synthesis, Cholesterol Absorption, and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients [PDF]
Summary Background and objectives Recent clinical trials on cholesterol-lowering in patients with CKD yielded conflicting results, which might have resulted from different treatment strategies. Serum cholesterol levels are determined by endogenous synthesis and intestinal absorption, which are differentially ...
