Cholesterol esterase action on human high density lipoproteins and inhibition studies: detection by MALDI-TOF MS

The modification of lipoproteins by lipolytic enzymes such as cholesterol esterase (CEase) is assumed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. However, details of the activation and inhibition of CEase are still unknown. In this study, matrix-assisted laser desorption and io...
