Abnormal cholesterol–cholesteryl ester metabolism impairs mouse oocyte quality during ovarian aging [PDF]
Background Ovarian aging-induced decline in oocyte quality has been a main issue in women of advanced maternal age. However, the potential mechanism remains elusive, and there are no effective strategies to ameliorate aged oocyte quality.

The surface behavior of a series of cholesteryl esters was studied in mixtures with a model phospholipid, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine. The cholesteryl esters were representative of the predominant forms occurring naturally and qualitative ...

Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Penetrates Lipoproteins For Cholesteryl Ester Transfer [PDF]
Human cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), a hydrophobic glycoprotein (476 amino acids, ∼74 kDa), mediates the transfer of cholesteryl ester (CE) from high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to apo-B containing lipoproteins (low-density lipoproteins - LDL; very low density lipoproteins - VLDL).

Insulin decreases plasma cholesteryl ester transfer but not cholesterol esterification in healthy subjects as well as in normotriglyceridaemic patients with type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Background. Plasma cholesterol esterification (EST) and subsequent cholesteryl ester transfer (CET) from high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) towards apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins are key steps in HDL metabolism. Materials and methods.

Oxidized cholesteryl esters and inflammation [PDF]
The oxidation hypothesis of atherosclerosis proposes that oxidized LDL is a major causative factor in the development of atherosclerosis. Although this hypothesis has received strong mechanistic support and many animal studies demonstrated profound atheroprotective effects of antioxidants, which reduce LDL oxidation, the results of human clinical ...

The concentration dependence and tissue distribution of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl ester and apolipoprotein (apo) transport were determined in apoA-I knockout mice (apoA-I-/-) that lack normal HDL in plasma. Rates of HDL cholesteryl ester

Clinical outcome of a patient with lysosomal acid lipase deficiency and first results after initiation of treatment with Sebelipase alfa: A case report [PDF]
We report on a case of very rare autosomal recessive cholesteryl ester storage disease due to lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LALD). LALD is caused by mutations in the lysosomal acid lipase A (LIPA) gene resulting in cholesteryl ester accumulation in

Inhibitors of neutral cholesteryl ester hydrolase.
p-Nitrophenyl N-butyl, N-octyl, and N-dodecyl carbamates and a newly synthesized diethyl phosphate compound were studied as potential inhibitors of the cholesteryl ester hydrolases of Fu5AH rat hepatoma cells.
