16:0 Cholesteryl-d7 Ester is used in biochemical methods studies to measure the cellular and medium content of [d7] cholesterol and unlabeled cholesterol that can be used to measure cholesterol efflux from cell lines which done with the addition of stable isotopes and mass spectrometry.

Cholesteryl palmitate is associated with atherosclerotic plaque. Deuterated cholesteryl palmitate in used in reconstituting high-density lipoprotein (HDL). An elevated levels of the ratio of cholesteryl oleate to cholesteryl palmitate is implicated with apoptotic cell death in the atherosclerotic lesions.
