Regulation of free cholesterol in cortical neurons. The amounts of total cholesterol, free cholesterol and cholesterol esters, all expressed as ng cholesterol/mg protein in cortical neurones treated for 24 hours in control medium (open bars), 100 μM mevalonate (black bars) or 50 μM cholesterol (striped bars). Amounts of total cholesterol significantly greater than those of untreated neurons (P < 0.05) are indicated with * and amounts of cholesterol esters significantly greater than those of untreated neurons (P < 0.05) are indicated with #.
