Abnormal cholesterol–cholesteryl ester metabolism impairs mouse oocyte quality during ovarian aging [PDF]

open access: yesCellular & Molecular Biology Letters
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.

STUDY ON CHOLESTERYL ESTER TRANSFER ACTIVITY IN CORONARY HEART DISEASE [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The net cholesterol transfer activity from high density lipoprotein (HDL) to low density lipoprotein (LDL) was determined in the patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) to examine its effect on the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, in the

Effects of dalcetrapib in patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In observational analyses, higher levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol have been associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease events.

Accumulation and mobilization of triglycerides and cholesteryl esters in Leydig tumor cells.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1992
Incubating MA-10 Leydig tumor cells with sodium oleate led to the accumulation of triglyceride within the cells. Triglycerides were deposited in a time- and dose-dependent fashion. Cellular triglyceride promoted storage of cholesteryl ester.

C323 of SR-BI is required for SR-BI-mediated HDL binding and cholesteryl ester uptake[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2011
Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is an HDL receptor. It binds HDL and mediates the uptake of cholesteryl ester from HDL. Early studies have pointed out that the extracellular domain of SR-BI is critical for SR-BI-mediated cholesteryl ester uptake.

Phagocytosis of cholesteryl ester is amplified in diabetic mouse macrophages and is largely mediated by CD36 and SR-A. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis, which accounts for approximately 75% of all diabetes-related deaths. Here we investigate the link between diabetes and macrophage cholesteryl ester accumulation.

Role of the neutral lipid accessible pool in the regulation of secretion of apoB-100 lipoprotein particles by HepG2 cells.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1995
The rate of secretion of apoB-100-containing lipoprotein particles by HepG2 cells is determined to an important extent by post-translational mechanisms, the mass of neutral lipids clearly playing a role in this process.

Macrophage cholesteryl ester mobilization and atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesVascular Pharmacology, 2010
Accumulation of cholesteryl esters (CE) stored as cytoplasmic lipid droplets is the main characteristic of macrophage foam cells that are central to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Since only unesterified or free cholesterol (FC) can be effluxed from the cells to extracellular cholesterol acceptors, hydrolysis of CE is the obligatory first ...

Progesterone blocks intracellular translocation of free cholesterol derived from cholesteryl ester in macrophages.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1995
Macrophage foam cells must accommodate continuing fluxes of free cholesterol in spite of a greatly expanded store of cholesteryl ester. Though endogenous free cholesterol synthesis is suppressed, free cholesterol continues to enter the cell via ...
