High-density lipoproteincholesterol, reverse cholesterol transport, and cardiovascular risk: a tale of genetics?
Cholesterol deposition plays a central role in atherogenesis. The accumulation of lipid material is the result of an imbalance between the influx and efflux of cholesterol within the arterial wall. High levels of plasma low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol are considered the major mechanism responsib...
