Abstract
The rate of cholesterol esterification in vitro was significantly lower (.apprx. 20%) in non-obese diabetics than in non-obese controls. More specifically, this decrease was in cholesteryl linoleate synthesis. The concentration of serum free fatty acid, particularly of oleic acid, was .apprx. 2-3 times higher in diabetic patients than in controls. The decreased rate of serum cholesterol esterification was associated with an increase in serum free fatty acid concentration and with a decrease of linoleic acid in serum phospholipids.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
