Notes: Cholesteryl linoleate is a pro-atherogenic cholesterol ester.{38440,38441} It has been found in the plasma membrane of macrophages as a component of LDL, where it undergoes oxidation to form cholesteryl linoleate hydroperoxides (Item No. 48001).{38440} Cholesteryl linoleate levels are increased in apoB-lipoproteins and positively correlated with hepatic cholesterol levels and the number of atherosclerotic lesions in transgenic mice overexpressing human ABCA1.{38441} Lipoprotein levels of cholesteryl linoleate are increased and associated with lipid radical formation in patients with β-thalassemia.{67248}
