| Plasma and hepatic cholesterol responses to dietary cholesterol (0, 0.006, 0.06%) and fatty acid chain length (12:0, 14:0, 16:0, 18:0) were investigated in the Mongolian gerbil. Hepatic esterified cholesterol concentrations of animals fed 16:0 and 18:0 were elevated relative to those of animals fed 12:0 and 14:0 (P ;We examined the effect of in vitro long chain fatty acid supplementation on HepG2 cellular esterified cholesterol concentration. HepG2 cells were incubated for 24 hours with 0.5mM 12:0, 14:0, 16:0, 18:0, and 18:1 (FA:BSA molar ratios 1.2... |
