Cholesteryl esterase and cholesteryl ester pools in corpus luteum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. The size of the available endogenous cholesteryl ester pools is also estimated. Some properties of the bovine luteal enzyme are different from those of pancreatic cholesteryl esterase from the same species.

Arterial neutral cholesteryl esterase. A hormone-sensitive enzyme distinct from lysosomal cholesteryl esterase.
We describe here an activable neutral cholesteryl esterase (EC 3.1.1.13) in arteries similar to the hormone-sensitive lipase of adipose tissue and adrenal cortex. Maximum enzyme activity in rabbit aorta was given by cholesteryl ester substrates dispersed as a mixed micelle with phosphatidylcholine and Na taurocholate (molar ratio 1:4:2). A quantitative assay of enzymic activity was obtained wit...
متن کاملRelationship between dietary virgin Olive oil on brain Cholesterol, Cholesteryl ester and Triglyceride levels and Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) permeability in a rat stroke model
Introduction: Recent studies suggest that dietary virgin olive oil (VOO) reduces hypoxia-re oxygenation injury in rat brain. We have attempted to determine the effect of dietary virgin olive oil on brain lipidomics and its relationship with brain edema in a rat stroke model. Methods: Five groups, each consisting of 6 male Wistar rats, were studied. The first and second groups (control and s...
متن کاملInfluence of incomplete cholesteryl ester hydrolysis on enzymic measurements of cholesterol.
Esterolytic activity of three enzymic cholesterol reagents was evaluated with use of human serum-based reference materials. Primary cholesterol standards were used to calibrate the enzymic methods, and incomplete cholesteryl ester hydrolysis was measured as the bias between the enzymic cholesterol values and corresponding reference values. The average biases observed with eight reference specim...
متن کاملContinuous monitoring of cholesterol oleate hydrolysis by hormone-sensitive lipase and other cholesterol esterases.
Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) contributes importantly to the hydrolysis of cholesteryl ester in steroidogenic tissues, releasing the cholesterol required for adrenal steroidogenesis. HSL has broad substrate specificity, because it hydrolyzes triacylglycerols (TAGs), diacylglycerols, monoacylglycerols, and cholesteryl esters. In this study, we developed a specific cholesterol esterase assay usi...
متن کاملThe effects of curcumin and a modified curcumin formulation on serum Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein concentrations in patients with metabolic syndrome: A randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial
Objective: Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL-C to LDL-C and VLDL-C. The aim of the present trial was to evaluate the effect of curcumin and its modified formulation on serum CETP concentrations in patients with metabolic syndrome. Materials and Methods: Participants were randomly allocated to one of three groups of 40 subjects receivin...
