The influence of enrichment with cholesterol on the phagocytic activity of rat macrophages
Abstract
Prolonged treatment of rats with a cholesterol-rich diet induced hypercholesterolaemia and increased free cholesterol content of peritoneal macrophages. A 2-2 times increase in plasma membrane cholesterol was demonstrated in cholesterol-enriched macrophages. These cells showed a significant inhibition of phagocytosis. The inhibition was 37-0% and 81-7% for latex particles or lipid droplets, respectively.
