Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) Deficiency and CETP Inhibitors
Epidemiologic studies have shown that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a strong risk factor, whilst high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) reduces the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).

Specificity of lipid transfer protein for molecular species of cholesteryl ester.
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 ...

Thermal bulk polymerization of cholesteryl acrylate [PDF]
The thermal bulk polymerization of cholesteryl acrylate was carried out in the solid phase, the mesomorphic phase, and the liquid phase to study the effect of monomer ordering on polymerization rate and polymer properties.

Cholesteryl esterase and cholesteryl ester pools in corpus luteum
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.

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 ...

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

Cholesteryl ethers are nonhydrolyzable tracers of cholesteryl esters. We report here that the ethers are not legitimate tracers of esters in systems involving plasma cholesteryl ester transfer activity.

The cholesterol-raising diterpenes from coffee beans increase serum lipid transfer protein activity levels in humans [PDF]
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.

Besnoitia besnoiti infection alters both endogenous cholesterol de novo synthesis and exogenous LDL uptake in host endothelial cells [PDF]
Besnoitia besnoiti, an apicomplexan parasite of cattle being considered as emergent in Europe, replicates fast in host endothelial cells during acute infection and is in considerable need for energy, lipids and other building blocks for offspring ...

Cholesterol exists within the hepatocyte as free cholesterol and cholesteryl ester. The proportion of intrahepatic cholesterol in the free or ester forms is governed in part by the rate of cholesteryl ester formation by acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol ...
