1 We examined the effect of in vitro fatty acid supplementation on low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor activity in cultured cells and questioned whether changes were related to fatty acid-induced alterations in acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity. Fatty Acids carboxylesterase 1 Homo sapiens
2 We hypothesize that certain fatty acids delivered to cells either in free form, or as triglyceride, first increase cellular ACAT activity, which then causes a decrease in an intracellular free cholesterol pool, signaling a need for increased LDL receptor activity. Fatty Acids carboxylesterase 1 Homo sapiens
