17beta-estradiol enhances the flux of cholesterol through the cholesteryl ester cycle in human macrophages.

Bioscience reports - 1 Oct 2001

Napolitano M, Blotta I, Montali A, Bravo E

Abstract excerpt

Estrogens have been shown to have many positive effects on the function of arterial wall, and recent evidence suggest that 17beta-estradiol has a direct action in reducing the accumulation of cholesteryl ester in macrophages. The mechanisms underlying the effects of 17beta-estradiol on foam cell formation, however are poorly understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of 17beta-estradiol in the...
