General description
Cholesterol is one of the important constituent of all membranes. It is made up of a hydrophobic, planar, a polar hydroxyl group, fused-ring nucleus and a short hydrocarbon tail.
Application
Cholesterol-PEG 600 has been used to evaluate its ability to induce apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells. It has also been used to restore cholesterol following depletion by methyl β-cyclodextrin.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cholesterol acts as an antecedent of steroid hormones. It plays a key role in fetal growth and in brain development.

A close association of caveolae and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) has been suggested to be important for contractile activation of smooth muscle. Here, we investigate the presence of such arrangements in pressurised resistance arteries and examine the influence of two agents

The small and intermediate conductance, Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels (SK(Ca) and IK(Ca), respectively) which are pivotal in the EDHF pathway may be differentially activated. The importance of caveolae in the functioning of IK(Ca) and SK(Ca) channels was investigated. The effect of
