Abstract
A statistically significant increase (p<0.01) in the activities of the microsomal enzymes cholesterol-7a-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.17), biphenyl-4-hydroxylase, aniline hydroxylase, NADPH-cytochrome-c-reductase (EC 1.6.2.4) and p-nitroanisole-O-demethylase, was shown in cholesterol-loaded rat liver microsomes. The data indicate that profound functional changes are induced in membrane proteins by exogenous cholesterol.
