    ..In conclusion, at this time the Golden-Syrian hamster does not appear to be a useful model to determine the mechanism(s) of diet-induced development of atherosclerotic lesions...

    Nutr Res 31:625-30. 2011
    ..The cells appeared to respond similarly to the assessed fatty acids in terms of amount and type of lipid accumulated. Hence, the THP-1 cell line was not appropriate to test the hypotheses of interest...
  3. ncbi The effect of 17β-estradiol on cholesterol content in human macrophages is influenced by the lipoprotein milieu
    Michael P Corcoran
    Lipid Metabolism Laboratory, Tufts University, Boston, Massachusetts 02111, USA
    J Mol Endocrinol 47:109-117. 2011
    ..In THP-1 cells, this effect is reduced in the presence of oxLDL, indicating that a pro-atherogenic lipoprotein milieu is an important variable in sex hormone modulation of CHD...

    J Nutr 139:215-21. 2009
    ..These data suggest that an oil relatively high in palmitoleic acid does not adversely affect plasma lipoprotein profiles or aortic cholesterol accumulation and was similar to other unsaturated fatty acid-rich oils...

    J Endocrinol 206:217-24. 2010
    ..Our results indicate that testosterone may exert anti-inflammatory effects by reducing macrophage TNF-alpha expression, while the effects of estrogen on macrophage CRP expression may depend upon the extracellular lipid environment...
