Relationships between plasma lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations and the pool size and metabolism of cholesterol in man
NE Miller, PJ Nestel, P Clifton-Bligh - Atherosclerosis, 1976 - Elsevier
The plasma concentrations of unesterified and esterified cholesterol within very low density
(VLDL), low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoproteins have been examined in
relation to the metabolism and pool size of cholesterol in normal and hyperlipidaemic
subjects. Cholesterol metabolism was assessed as faecal endogenous neutral and acidic
steroid excretion, a 2-pool model of cholesterol turnover, and in vitro plasma cholesterol
esterifying activity. VLDL total cholesterol (TC) concentration was positively correlated with …
