Intracellular and Plasma Membrane Events in Cholesterol Transport and Homeostasis
Cholesterol transport between intracellular compartments proceeds by both energy‐ and non‐energy‐dependent processes. Energy‐dependent vesicular traffic partly contributes to cholesterol flux between endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, and endocytic vesicles.

Altered P450 activity associated with direct selection for fungal azole resistance [PDF]
Azole antifungals inhibit CYP51A1-mediated sterol 14α-demethylation and the mechanism(s) of resistance to such compounds in Ustilago maydis were examined.

Cholesterol metabolism during ketoconazole treatment in man.
Ketoconazole, an antifungal antibiotic, inhibits cholesterol synthesis by blocking demethylation of lanosterol. Effects of this inhibition were studied on serum cholesterol, lipoproteins and cholesterol precursors, biliary lipid composition, and fecal ...

This study elucidates the role of RNASET2 in inhibiting the metastasis of HCC. RNASET2 preferentially cleaves RNA into uridine, which contributes to the salvage synthesis of UTP and the glucuronidation of bile acids, thereby maintaining a balance in cholesterol metabolism. This process is followed by the degradation of MET in the lysosome.

Lipidomics and anti‐trypanosomatid chemotherapy
Abstract BackgroundTrypanosomatids such as Leishmania, Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma cruzi belong to the order Kinetoplastida and are the source of many significant human and animal diseases. Current treatment is unsatisfactory and is compromised by the rising appearance of drug resistant parasites.

Hyperlipidemia is a direct cause of atherosclerosis and can damage the heart, brain, and kidneys, leading to coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular conditions. Dendrobium huoshanense (DH) has been demonstrated to regulate lipid metabolism. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms through which DH prevents lipid metabolism disorders by examining

A Dietary Treatment Improves Cerebral Blood Flow and Brain Connectivity in Aging apoE4 Mice
APOE ε4 (apoE4) polymorphism is the main genetic determinant of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A dietary approach (Fortasyn) including docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, uridine, choline, phospholipids, folic acid, vitamins B12, B6, C, and E, and selenium has been proposed for dietary management of AD.

The Potential of Isoprenoids in Adjuvant Cancer Therapy to Reduce Adverse Effects of Statins
The mevalonate pathway provides sterols for membrane structure and nonsterol intermediates for the post-translational modification and membrane anchorage of growth-related proteins, including the Ras, Rac, and Rho GTPase family.

ABSTRACT Measurement errors are ubiquitous in all experimental sciences. Depending on the particular experimental platform used to acquire data, different types of errors are introduced, amounting to an admixture of additive and multiplicative error components that can be uncorrelated or correlated. In this paper, we investigate the effect of different
