(±)13-HODE cholesteryl ester was originally extracted from atherosclerotic lesions and shown to be produced by Cu2+-catalyzed oxidation of LDL. Later studies determined that 15-LO from rabbit reticulocytes and human monocytes were able to metabolize cholesteryl linoleate, a major component of LDL, to 13-HODE cholesteryl ester.
(±)9-HODE cholesteryl ester was originally extracted from atherosclerotic lesions and shown to be produced by Cu2+-catalyzed oxidation of LDL. Later studies determined that 15-LO from rabbit reticulocytes and human monocytes were able to metabolize cholesteryl linoleate, a major component of LDL, to 9-HODE cholesteryl ester.
9(R)-HODE cholesteryl ester was originally extracted from atherosclerotic lesions. It remains uncertain whether the oxidized fatty acid portion of the molecule results from enzymatic lipoxygenation or from random lipid peroxidation. 9(R)-HODE cholesteryl ester can be used as a standard for analysis of chiral HODE cholesteryl esters.
13(R)-HODE cholesteryl ester was originally extracted from atherosclerotic lesions. It remains uncertain whether the oxidized fatty acid portion of the molecule results from enzymatic lipoxygenation or from random lipid peroxidation. 13(R)-HODE cholesteryl ester can be used as a standard for analysis of chiral HODE cholesteryl esters.
9(S)-HODE cholesteryl ester was originally extracted from atherosclerotic lesions. It remains uncertain whether the oxidized fatty acid portion of the molecule results from enzymatic lipoxygenation or from random lipid peroxidation. 9(S)-HODE cholesteryl ester can be used as a standard for analysis of chiral HODE cholesteryl esters.
Cholesteryl heptadecanoate is a cholesterol ester (CE) formed by the condensation of cholesterol with heptadecanoic acid, a C-17 saturated fatty acid that does not occur in any natural animal or vegetable fat at high concentrations. As such, it is commonly used as an internal standard for the quantification of cholesterol esters by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. CEs are major constituents of lipoprotein particles carried in blood and accumulate in the fatty acid lesions of atherosclerotic plaques. CEs of various fatty acids are major constituents of murine and human adrenal glands.
Cholesteryl lignocerate is a cholesterol ester that has been found in human meibum. Cholesteryl lignocerate can be hydrolyzed by cellular extracts from cultured human skin fibroblasts isolated from healthy individuals but not patients with cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) or Wolman disease.
Cholesteryl homo-γ-linolenate is a cholesterol ester. It accumulates in the adrenal gland of rabbits fed a diet high in linolenic acid. Levels of cholesteryl homo-γ-linolenate are decreased and positively correlate with cognitive decline in HIV-infected humans.
Cholesteryl arachidate is a cholesterol ester that has been found in human meibum.[1][2] It has been used as an internal standard for the quantification of fatty acids in B. napus.[3]
Cholesteryl docosapentaenoate, a cholesterol ester, exhibits increased levels in the liver, plasma, and skeletal muscle of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) knockout mice relative to homozygous controls.
Cholesteryl palmitoleate, a cholesterol ester, exhibits elevated plasma levels in ApoE- - mice following exposure to cigarette smoke and in pediatric patients diagnosed with biliary atresia. It serves as a standard for identifying cholesterol esters in human meibomian gland secretions.
