Cholesteryl ester

[2] Cholesteryl ester is found in human brains as lipid droplets which store and transport cholesterol.

[3] Increased levels of cholesteryl ester have been found in certain parts of the brain of people with Huntington's disease.

Higher concentrations of cholesteryl ester have been found in the caudate and putamen, but not the cerebellum, of people with Huntington disease compared with levels in controls.

[4] Increase in cholesteryl ester has also been found in other neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.

[5] Increasing HDL values has the potential to prevent mortality associated with cardiovascular risks such as atherosclerosis.
