Interactions of cholesterol esters with phospholipids: cholesteryl myristate and dimyristoyl lecithin.

The ternary phase diagram of cholesteryl myristate–dimyristoyl lecithin–water has been determined by polarizing light microscopy, scanning calorimetry, and x-ray diffraction. Hydrated dimyristoyl lecithin forms a lamellar liquid–crystalline phase (L alpha) at temperatures greater than 23 degrees C i...
