title: Effects of cholesterol loading of mouse macrophages on carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity and sensitivity to inhibition by malonyl-CoA.
abstract: Scavenger receptor-mediated uptake of acetylated low density lipoprotein-derived cholesterol by peritoneal mouse macrophages resulted in decreased activity of the malonyl-CoA inhibitable carnitine palmitoyltransferase and a decrease in the sensitivity of this enzyme to inhibition by malonyl-CoA.
