Effect of a coffee lipid (cafestol) on regulation of lipid metabolism in CaCo-2 cells.

The influence of cafestol, a lipid component found in boiled coffee, on low density lipoprotein (LDL) and lipid metabolism was investigated in CaCo-2 cells cultured on filter membranes. The rate of uptake and degradation of 125I-labeled tyramine cellobiose-LDL was increased 50% in CaCo-2 cells incub...
