Caveolin-1 provides palliation for adverse hepatic reactions in hypercholesterolemic rabbits.

Caveolins are an essential component of cholesterol-rich invaginations of the plasma membrane known as caveolae. These flask-shaped, invaginated structures participate in a number of important cellular processes, including vesicular transport, cholesterol homeostasis, and signal transduction. We inv...
