Deuterium magnetic resonance of selectively deuterated cholesteryl esters in phosphatidylcholine vesicles

Abstract: Deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (2H NMR) experiments have been performed on selectively deuterated cholesteryl palmitate (CP) and cholesteryl stearate (CS) in egg phosphatidylcholine (PC) unilamellar vesicles. Egg PC vesicles were found to incorporate up to 5 mol % ester and to have a mean diameter of 22 nm. Addition of 20 mol % cholesterol decreased the solubility of cholesteryl ester in the bilayer to approximately 2-3 mol %, but the vesicle size remained unchanged. The 2H MNR results reveal that the ac… Show more

“…The results indicate that dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles can incorporate up to 5 mol% CP, an amount identical to that incorporated into egg phosphatidylcholine vesicles (6). The solubility of the ester is not greatly reduced in the gel phase as evidenced by the ZH nmr experiments conducted with a dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine/CP-16,16,16-d3 vesicle system both above and 10°C below the gel to liquid crystalline phase transition of the phospholipid.…”
