Journal ArticleDOI
Melatonin Inhibits LDL Receptor Activity and Cholesterol-Synthesis in Freshly Isolated Human Mononuclear Leukocytes
TL;DR: The data provide evidence that melatonin can modulate cholesterol metabolism in human cells and implicate thatMelatonin inhibits this pathway between lanosterol and cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opposite Effects of Insulin and Catecholamines on LDL-Receptor Activity in Human Mononuclear Leukocytes
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that insulin stimulates and catecholamines suppress the specific binding, accumulation, and degradation of 125I-LDL in human mononuclear leukocytes in a manner mediated by β2-adrenergic receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Pertussis toxin can modulate signal transduction of insulin at the level of the insulin receptor kinase, and immunoprecipitation of the diabetes receptor from intact cells with anti-insulin receptor antibodies showed that pertussis toxins did not increase the phosphorylation of serine or threonine residues in the insulin receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of calcium antagonists and adrenergic antihypertensive drugs on plasma lipids and cellular cholesterol metabolism.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that calcium antagonists and various antihypertensive drugs, depending upon their action on beta- or alpha-adrenergic receptors, affect lipid metabolism differently and the metabolic effect may play a role in atherogenesis and may be of clinical importance when anti Hypertensive treatment is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Antihypertensive Drugs on Cholesterol Metabolism of Human Mononuclear Leukocytes and Hepatoma Cells
TL;DR: Mechanisms are an interference with degradation of LDL and consequent alterations of cholesterol esterification, which suggests that cholesterolacyltransferase (ACAT) was not affected per se.
