Cholesteryl ester-rich microemulsions: stable protein-free analogs of low density lipoproteins.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1982 A method has been devised for the preparation of stable lipid microemulsions containing cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, phosphatidylcholine, and trioleoylglycerol in the relative molar ratios found in low density lipoproteins.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1982 Plasma lipoproteins from male rats were isolated by rate zonal centrifugation. Four lipoproteins were identified: VLDL, LDL, HDL1, and HDL2. LDL, HLD1, and some HDL2 distributed within the salt density interval of 1.006-1.085 g/ml, while HDL2 was found ...

Use of fluorescent cholesteryl ester microemulsions in cholesteryl ester transfer protein assays
Journal of Lipid Research, 1993 In the present report we describe a simple and practical method to assess CETP activity in a defined system by use of microemulsions containing a fluorescent cholesteryl ester analog. The microemulsions are stable, simple to prepare, and can be made to defined composition.

The cholesterol-raising diterpenes from coffee beans increase serum lipid transfer protein activity levels in humans [PDF]
, 1997 Cafestol and kahweol–diterpenes present in unfiltered coffee— strongly raise serum VLDL and LDL cholesterol and slightly reduce HDL cholesterol in humans. The mechanism of action is unknown.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988 Cholesteryl esters are the major lipids that accumulate in arteries during atherogenesis. The mechanisms responsible for this lipid accretion have not been completely defined.

Cholesteryl esterase and cholesteryl ester pools in corpus luteum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1968 Cholesteryl esterase activity has been demonstrated in the corpus luteum of the rat and the cow. The hydrolytic activity in bovine corpora lutea shows two pH optima, and is distributed throughout the particulate and supernatant fractions of the tissue. The greatest activity is present in the 5000 g pellet.

Specificity of lipid transfer protein for molecular species of cholesteryl ester.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1988 The capacity of the plasma-derived lipid transfer protein to facilitate the transfer of various cholesteryl ester species has been investigated. Four different molecular species of cholesteryl ester were incorporated into either reconstituted high ...

Prevalence of Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2007 Cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) is an autosomal recessive chronic liver disease caused by lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) deficiency. The gene is located on chromosome 10q23.2-q23.3, and the enzyme is essential for triglycerides and cholesteryl ester hydrolysis in lysosomes.

Is hypertriglyceridemic very low density lipoprotein a precursor of normal low density lipoprotein?
Journal of Lipid Research, 1985 The precursor-product relationship of very low density (VLDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) was studied. VLDL obtained from normal (NTG) and hypertriglyceridemic (HTG) subjects was fractionated by zonal ultracentrifugation and subjected to in vitro ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994 Recent studies from our laboratory (Yancey, P.G., and R. W. St. Clair. 1992. Arterioscler. Thromb. 12: 1291-1304) have shown that cultured peritoneal macrophages from White Carneau (WC) pigeons clear cholesteryl esters at a slower rate than do ...
