Selective uptake of HDL cholesteryl esters is active in transgenic mice expressing human apolipoprotein A-I.

The direct non-endocytotic uptake of cholesteryl esters (CE) from high density lipoprotein (HDL) plays a major role in HDL CE metabolism in rats and rabbits. In vitro evidence indicates it may also play such a role in humans. However, a study in mice (tracing the CE and apoA-I moieties of HDL) concl...
