DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant) This Project has been at the center of this Program Project Grant since its inception in 1977. The objective continues to be an understanding of the mechanism by which cells sense cholesterol and adjust its uptake via the LDL receptor pathway and its synthesis via the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway so as to maintain an optimal level of cholesterol in cell membranes. An understanding of this control mechanism may help to explain why ingestion of cholesterol and saturated fatty acids leads to an elevation of LDL in plasma and the consequent atherosclerosis. In recent years, we have learned that an understanding of the SREBP pathway has another implication, equally as important as its implication for cholesterol homeostasis. This implication derives from the evidence that SREBPs regulate the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids as well as cholesterol. These studies therefore may increase our understanding of the disordered fatty acid synthesis that predisposes to atherosclerosis in states of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes mellitus.

描述：（申请人提供） 自成立以来，该项目一直是该计划项目赠款的中心 1977年。目标继续是对机制的理解 细胞感测胆固醇，并通过LDL受体途径及其调整其摄取 通过胆固醇生物合成途径的合成，以维持 细胞膜中胆固醇的最佳水平。对此的理解 控制机制可能有助于解释为什么摄入胆固醇和 饱和脂肪酸导致血浆中的LDL升高和 随之而来的动脉粥样硬化。近年来，我们了解到 对SREBP途径的理解具有另一个含义，同样 重要的是它对胆固醇稳态的影响。这意味着 SREBPS调节不饱和的合成的证据 脂肪酸和胆固醇。因此，这些研究可能会增加我们的 理解易怒的脂肪酸合成，易于 肥胖，胰岛素抵抗和糖尿病状态的动脉粥样硬化 Mellitus。
