... lipoproteins and for anticholesterol drug evaluation assays. HMEC-1 cells will fill a gap that is present for in vitro investigations of cholesterol metabolism in conjunction with previously established hepatic, monocytic, or macrophage cell lines. This paper presents a simple assay that demonstrates a linear...

...Ruth Silberberg The effect of a 4% supplement of cholesterol to a standard diet on knee joints and vertebral columns was investigated in male mice of strain C 57 B1. The experimental diet was fed from the time of weaning through the 18-month period of observation or from the age of 1 year...

The transitory disturbance is accompanied by a more permanent increase in glycogen, by abnormal deposition of cytoplasmic...

...). A significant elevation in total cholesterol levels was observed in both the FABAC and control groups. Higher FABAC levels were measured in the high-density lipoprotein fraction as compared to the very-low-density and low-density lipoprotein fractions. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that FABACs, given...

... fortification of drinking water can attenuate atherogenesis in male low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor-deficient mice, but had a mild and nonsignificant effect on female mice fed a high-cholesterol diet supplemented with cholic acid. The aim of this study was to examine whether Mg has an antiatherogenic...

... (12 weeks) and second (6 weeks) stages of the experiment, the mice received low- and high-cholesterol diets, respectively. At the end of each stage, blood was drawn for the determination of plasma magnesium, calcium and lipid levels. In addition, the extent of atherosclerosis was determined...
