Abstract

The kinetics of the exchange of Cholesteryl esters between low density lipoproteins (LDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL) stimulated by lipoprotein depleted plasma has been studied in vitro.The results indicate that the exchange is inhibited with the increase of HDL present in the assay, although the limiting factor is not the absolute concentration of HDL, since in a simultaneous LDL increase, the exchange augments proportionally to the total cholesteryl esters pool.Implications regarding overall metabolism of body cholesterol are discussed.
