EPA and linoleic acid (PUFAs) are specifically shown to downregulate the LDL receptor compared to saturated and monosaturated fatty acids in the presence or absence of cholesterol. The experiments lead to the discovery that antioxidants can upregulate the LDL receptor in the human HepG2 cells. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Animal Science, 1996
