This study was performed to investigate the effects of 17 alpha-ethinyl estradiol, a potent hypocholesterolemic agent at pharmacological doses, on cholesterol balance in the liver and extrahepatic tissues of the rat in vivo. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with 17
These studies were done to examine the effect of gonadotropin on rat luteal 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase activity (the rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis) in ovaries of pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG)-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) primed rats. Administration

Barrier perturbation stimulates epidermal cholesterol synthesis, which plays an important role in restoring barrier function. In the present study, we examined whether changes in serum cholesterol levels or nutrition regulate epidermal cholesterol synthesis in hairless mice. Serum cholesterol levels were
Reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and lipid peroxides, impair luteal function. Vitamin E, a lipophilic antioxidant vitamin, provides a major avenue of protection by scavenging free radicals and terminating lipid peroxidation. We previously showed that ovarian vitamin

The objective of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that the diabetes-induced reduction in lipoprotein lipase activity in cardiac myocytes may be due to hypertriglyceridemia. Administration of 4-aminopyrazolopyrimidine (50 mg/kg) to control rats for 24 h reduced plasma triacylglycerol
