Cholesterol esters were discovered in arterial lesions in 1910. Between 1980-1995, the interest in ACAT inhibitors grew, but some of the compounds looked at exhibited toxicity. In 1993, an ACAT gene was successfully cloned. This discovery led to more studies with ACAT and atherosclerosis. | Cholesterol esters were discovered in arterial lesions in 1910.
