    Product Description

    Cholesteryl palmitoleate is a cholesterol ester.1,2,3 Plasma levels of cholesteryl palmitoleate are increased in ApoE-/- mice exposed to cigarette smoke and in pediatric patients with biliary atresia.1,2 Cholesteryl palmitoleate has been used as a standard for the identification of cholesterol esters in human meibomian gland secretions.3
