This review summarizes the mechanisms of cellular cholesterol transport and monogenic human diseases caused by defects in intracellular cholesterol processing. In addition, selected mouse models of disturbed cholesterol trafficking are discussed. Current pharmacological strategies to prevent atherosclerosis are largely based on altering cellular cholesterol balance and are introduced in this context. Finally, because of the organizing potential of cholesterol in membranes, disturbances in cellular cholesterol transport have implications for a wide variety of human diseases, of which selected examples are given.

Results of the present work give evidence from the beneficial role of extra virgin olive of oil (EVOO) consumption towards oxidative stress and cardiovascular diseases. Polyphenols contained in EVOO are responsible for inhibiting lipoproteins oxidative damages and promoting reverse cholesterol transport process via ABCA1 pathway.
