| Name | Cholesterol |
| Description | Cholesterol (cholesteryl alcohol) is a natural product that is the major sterol in mammals and an agonist of estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα). Cholesterol is widely found in the cell membranes of animals and is also used in the synthesis of several important hormones and bile acids. |
| In vitro | METHODS: CD4+ T lymphocytes were incubated with 7-KC (17.5-70 µM) and Cholesterol-MβCD (17.5-70 µM) for 10 min, and T cell membrane order and disorder were assessed using di-4 ANEPPDHQ fluorescent dye.
RESULTS: After exposure to 7-KC, T cell membrane order was altered in a dose-dependent manner, with significant reconstitution of membrane order observed only in cells treated with 35 µM Cholesterol, while reconstitution with l7.5 µM Cholesterol induced minimal effects. [1]
METHODS: Human gastric cancer cells SNU601, SNU638 and SNU216 were treated with Cholesterol (25-100 µM) for 48 h and cell viability was measured using MTT Assay.
RESULTS: Cholesterol caused a dose-dependent decrease in cell viability in all three cell lines. [2] |
| In vivo | METHODS: To induce hypercholesterolemia, STD:ddY mice were fed a high cholesterol diet (1% cholesterol, 0.5% cholic acid, 0.5% olive oil and 93% standard mouse chow).
RESULTS: Cholesterol can be used to construct a mouse model of hypercholesterolemia. [3]
METHODS: To induce hyperlipidemia, CD-1 mice were fed a high cholesterol diet (2% cholesterol and 0.6% sodium deoxycholate).
RESULTS: Cholesterol can be used to construct a mouse model of hyperlipidemia. [4] |
