From plant to human, dozens of neutral lipids can be made by cells and deposited into lipid droplets (LDs)1. LDs control cellular energy and lipid homeostasis but also possess several other functions2attuned to the LD formation triggering cue2,3,4. LD formation is initiated when sufficient amo...
However, the doubled dose of a statin only leads to about 6% increase in LDL-C lowering efficacy, which may cause statin resistance/intolerance.32Thus, there is a need to develop novel lipid-lowering approaches beyond statins. In 2002, ezetimibe was introduced as an intestinal cholesterol absorp...
In as much as previous reports showed that VSV infection on BHK-21 is not affected by depletion of cholesterol [27], we used VSV as a negative control for our studies about relationship between lipid rafts and virus infection. Rabbit polyclonal antibodies to VP4 and VP7 were generated in ...
A cholesterol test is essential to get a clear view of an individual's lipid profile vs normal levels, even for those who feel healthy and fit. Learn more.
Cholesterol has been commonly considered a “dangerous kind of fat”, undesirable for the human body. Actually, it is quite the opposite. It is a lipid, steroid (not exactly a fat) essential for the body.Cholesterol paves the way for the production of vitamin D(including those who supplemen...
Cholesterol plays a key role in the molecular and mesoscopic organisation of lipid membranes and it is expected that changes in its molecular structure (e.g., through environmental factors such as oxidative stress) may affect adversely membrane properties and function. In this study, we present evi...
