Effect of dietary fat saturation on acylcoenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase activity of Ehrlich cell microsomes

Ehrlich cells grown in mice fed coconut oil diets (highly saturated) contain about twice as much cholesteryl ester as those grown in mice fed sunflower oil diets (highly polyunsaturated). Acylcoenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity was 30–100% higher in microsomes prepared from the c...
