“…[5][6][7][8] It should be pointed out that the level of IP 3 , [Ca 2þ ]i, and membrane-bound PKC activity in resting monocytes are in reasonable agreement with those already found both in the literature and our earlier work. [10][11][12] In our present study, LDL induced the IP3 and Ca 2þ signals and PKC activation and translocation into the membrane in human monocytes. The PKC activation in the membrane fraction was inhibited by PT and H-7, suggesting that PKC activation depends on the IP 3 and Ca 2þ signal.…”

“…9 In our earlier publications, it was demonstrated that neutrophils of patients with hypercholesterolemia are characterized by increased membrane-bound PKC activity and by decreased signal processing through chemotactic peptide receptors such as FMLP and angiotensin II. [10][11][12] Consequently, if it is true that LDL-Rs have a dual signaling system, and this system is involved in the regulation of intracellular cholesterol homeostasis, then clarification of LDL-R signaling may produce very significant data to help the better understanding of the pathomechanism of atherosclerosis.…”

“…58,59 If this holds true, it is possible that certain patients who likely are quite advanced along the clinical continuum that starts with tendency toward mild weight gain and dieting, and moves toward obesity and metabolic syndrome have enough excess cholesterol in their cell membranes to interfere with the CCK satiety servomechanism (Figure 1). It is possible that these patients will need a 'corrective PAM' without intrinsic agonist activity, representing a second drug, to complement the PAMs without intrinsic agonist activity that act at the normal receptor in a normal membrane environment.…”

“…Consequently, cells located in the atherosclerotic lesions are exposed to an FC-rich extracellular environment. Extracellular FC can be directly incorporated into the plasma membranes (PMs) of cells, leading to an increase in cellular cholesterol levels (6,7). Indeed, Fang et al (8) showed that hypercholesterolemia increased the level of cellular FC ϳ2-4-fold in vascular endothelial cells (ECs).…”
