FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF CHOLESTERYL ESTERS IN CHOLESTEROL-FED RABBITS TREATED WITH LIPID-LOWERING AGENT (ETHYL 2-(p-CHLOROPHENOXY) ISOBUTYRATE)

[摘要] References(33)Cited-By(3)Regression mechanism of Ethyl 2-(p-chlorophenoxy) isobutyrate (CPIB) in the arterial wall was studied for elucidation in terms of fatty acid-compositional change in cholesterol-fed rabbits. The following evidence was obtained: (1) The amount of cholesterol and cholesteryl ester in the atheromatous aorta were reduced after CPIB treatment. (2) CPIB resulted in a significant increase in the ratio of linoleate to oleate in both the arterial wall and serum after withdrawal of the cholesterol diet. It is suggested that there is a preferential hydrolysis of linoleate-rich cholesteryl ester in both the arterial wall and the serum.
