ABCA1 is essential for efficient basolateral cholesterol efflux during the absorption of dietary cholesterol in chickens.
The ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) participates in the efflux of cholesterol from cells. It remains unclear whether ABCA1 functions to efflux cholesterol across the basolateral or apical membrane of the intestine. We used a chicken model of ABCA1 dysfunction, the Wisconsin hypoalpha mutant (WHAM) chicken, to address this issue. After an oral gavage of radioactive cholesterol, the p...
متن کاملPhytosterol glycosides reduce cholesterol absorption in humans.
Dietary phytosterols inhibit intestinal cholesterol absorption and regulate whole body cholesterol excretion and balance. However, they are biochemically heterogeneous and a portion is glycosylated in some foods with unknown effects on biological activity. We tested the hypothesis that phytosterol glycosides reduce cholesterol absorption in humans. Phytosterol glycosides were extracted and puri...
متن کاملTransepithelial Transport of Curcumin in Caco-2 Cells Is significantly Enhanced by Micellar Solubilisation
Curcumin, the active constituent of Curcuma longa L. (family Zingiberaceae), has gained increasing interest because of its anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anti-rheumatic properties associated with good tolerability and safety up to very high doses of 12 g. Nanoscaled micellar formulations on the base of Tween 80 represent a promising strategy to overcome its low oral bioavail...
متن کاملHow essential is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is an apparently indispensable lipid for numerous processes required for cell proliferation. Levels of this molecule are primarily regulated at the transcriptional level by the SREBPs (sterol-regulatory-element-binding proteins) and LXR (liver X receptor). In this issue of the Biochemical Journal, Rodríguez-Acebes et al. show that a cholesterol precursor, desmosterol, can support ce...
متن کاملAssessment of percent cholesterol absorption in humans with stable isotopes.
Dietary cholesterol restriction is a general recommendation for the medical community and emphasizes the importance of intestinal cholesterol absorption and metabolism in humans. However, several methods that may accurately quantify cholesterol absorption utilize radioactive isotopes that are undesirable for younger individuals, women, children, and normal subjects. To eliminate this hazard, we...
