Cholesteryl linoleate
Cholesteryl linoleate is the predominant cholesteryl ester found in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and atherosclerotic plaques. It serves as a key substrate for oxidation, notably by 15-lipoxygenase, forming hydroperoxides studied in macrophage and cellular models of foam cell formation and atherosclerosis research.
