Phosphatidylinositol promotes cholesterol transport and excretion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Administration of phosphatidylinositol (PI) to New Zealand White rabbits increases HDL negative charge and stimulates reverse cholesterol transport. Intravenously administered PI (10 mg/kg) associated almost exclusively with the HDL fraction in rabbits. PI promoted an increase in the hepatic uptake of plasma free cholesterol (FC) and a 21-fold increase in the biliary secretion of plasma-derived cholesterol. PI also increased cholesterol excretion into the feces by 2.5-fold. PI directly affects cellular cholesterol metabolism. In cholesterol-loaded macrophages, PI stimulated cholesterol mass efflux to lipid-poor reconstituted HDL. PI was about half as effective as cAMP at stimulating efflux, and the effects of cAMP and PI were additive. In cultured HepG2 cells, PI-enriched HDL also enhanced FC uptake from HDL by 3-fold and decreased cellular cholesterol synthesis and esterification. PI enrichment had no effect on the selective uptake of cholesterol esters or on the internalization of HDL particles. PI-dependent metabolic events were efficiently blocked by inhibitors of protein kinase C and the inositol signaling cascade. The data suggest that HDL-PI acts via cell surface ATP binding cassette transporters and signaling pathways to regulate both cellular and intravascular cholesterol homeostasis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
