Supplier: AdipoGen CDXC0359G100
Chemical. CAS 604-35-3. Formula C29H48O2. MW 428.69. Synthetic. Cholesteryl acetate is a normal human cholesteryl ester present in diverse fluids and organs. Cholesteryl acetate is also present in foods. Food oxidation affects the quality and safety of the human diet by generating compounds with biological activities that can adversely affect health. In particular the susceptibility of cholesterol to oxidation is well known, certain products of cholesterol oxidation have been reported to produce cytotoxic, angiotoxic and carcinogenic effects. Cholesteryl ester CE is the major transport and storage form of cholesterol in lipoprotein particles and most cell types. Molecular composition of CE species is of high interest for arteriosclerosis research, i. e. as components of lipoprotein subclasses or in studies investigating the mechanisms involved in the generation of lipid laden foam cells.
