“…On the basis of the findings of a number of investigators (Castro & Fielding, 1988;Cheung & Wolf, 1989;Dieplinger et al, 1985;Eisenberg et al, 1978;Francone et al, 1989;Gambert et al, 1982;Holmquist & Carlson, 1985;Hopkins & Barter, 1984;Hopkins et al, 1985;Jonas et al, 1988Jonas et al, , 1990Lagrost et al, 1990;Nichols et al, 1981Nichols et al, , 1984Nichols et al, ,1985Nichols et al, , 1987Rajaram & Barter, 1986;Roheim, 1986;Rose & Ellerbe, 1982) as well as our own, we have assembled a model in which apoA-I cycles between pre-P-HDL and a-HDL in connection with the movement of cholesteryl esters through HDL (Figure 9) (Kunitake et al, 1992). As free cholesterol, derived from donors, enters the HDL and is esterified by 1ecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), pre-P-HDL are converted into a-HDL.…”
