Nutrition & Dieting - CHOLESTROL DEFFICIENCY DISEASE

Expert: Todd Bublitz, RCEP - 5/20/2007

Question
WHAT DISEASE DOES OCCURE IN THE DIFFECIENCY OF CHOLESTROL?

Answer
Aqeel Kahn,

There are several articles that will answer your question. I will point you to those articles and ask that you read them yourself. I cannot explain the disease and syndrome here -it would take too much space and be too complicated.

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS)
http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic2117.htm

A cholesterol deficiency syndrome in humans.
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=295355

Cholesterol deficiency increases the vulnerability of hippocampal glia in primary culture to glutamate-induced excitotoxicity.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=1...

Abnormal sterols in cholesterol-deficiency diseases cause secretory granule malformation and decreased membrane curvature
http://jcs.biologists.org/cgi/content/full/119/9/1876

You can find other articles if you do a search for "cholesterol deficiency" or "Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome".

I hope this helps.

Todd
