چکیده
5. The rate of synthesis of 2-naphthyl sulphamate by rat-liver preparations is increased by about 400% by 17-oxo steroids in concentrations of approximately 10-5M. 6. The rate ofsynthesis ofsulphamate byguineapig preparations is not increased by 17-oxo steroids. 7. It is suggested that the mechanism of this activation involves the formation of steroid 17-enol sulphates and that these enol sulphates would be a form of 'active sulphate', having a high sulphategroup potential. 8. The rates of synthesis of certain other sulphate esters by the enzyme preparations are described.

Evidence for an altered lipid metabolic state in circulating blood monocytes under conditions of hyperlipemia in swine and its implications in arterial lipid metabolism.
Circulating blood monocytes were isolated from normal and hypercholesterolemic swine, and the monocyte lipid compositions and lipid biosynthesis profiles were assessed. The data indicate that monocytes freshly isolated from hyperlipemic swine have increased phospholipid and cholesterol contents and have increased biosynthetic capability for synthesizing phospholipids, triglycerides, and cholest...

متن کاملStructure of human serum lipoproteins inferred from compositional analysis.
Analysis of the correlations between size and chemical composition of lipoproteins of normolipidemic human plasma shows that the structure of all circulating lipoproteins is consistent with a spherical model of radius r in which a spherical liquid core of cholesterol esters and triglycerides of radius = r --20.2 A is surrounded by a monolayer of cholesterol and phospholipids with closely hydrop...

متن کاملHuman granulosa cells use high density lipoprotein cholesterol for steroidogenesis.
This study examines the ability of human high density lipoproteins (HDL3) to deliver cholesteryl esters to human granulosa cells and describes the selective cholesterol pathway by which this occurs. Luteinized cells obtained from subjects undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer procedures were incubated with native HDL3 (or radiolabeled or fluorescently labeled HDL cholesteryl esters)...
