Many colorectal cancers have high levels of cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2), an enzyme that metabolizes the essential fatty acids into prostaglandins. Since the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) is involved in the uptake of essential fatty acids, we studied the effect of LDL on growth and gene regul

We found that the binding of lzS1-low-density lipoprotein to fetal liver low-density lipoprotein receptor rose progressively with the increase in fetal age. During this period, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels in fetal serum declined significantly. The correlation coe
The responsiveness of low density lipoprotein (LDL) binding and uptake was measured in a human hepatoblastoma cell line, Hep G2. These cells exhibited both saturable, high-affinity and nonsaturable low-affinity components similar to that described for LDL binding in other mammalian cells. In additio
