Meanings of cholesteryl esters in anglès

However, implication of LXRs in the selective uptake of cholesteryl esters from lipoproteins in human macrophages has never been reported.

A simple method has been developed for labelling human plasma lipoproteins to high specific radioactivity with radioactive cholesteryl esters in vitro.

They serve to transport endogenously synthesized lipids, mainly triglycerides (but also some cholesterol and cholesteryl esters) to peripheral tissues.

Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is a key enzyme that cleaves cholesteryl esters and triglycerides to generate free fatty acids and cholesterol in lysosomes.

Inhibition of ACAT, the enzyme which catalyses the intracellular formation of cholesteryl esters, is a very attractive target for the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia and atherosclerosis.

Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is essential for the hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides to generate cholesterol and free fatty acids in cellular lysosomes.

Insulin also increased the percentage of palmitoleic acid (16:1) and decreased the percentages of saturated fatty acids and n-6 fatty acids in aortic cholesteryl esters.
