Abstract excerpt
Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) mediates the selective uptake of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl esters (CE) by cells, i.e., the uptake of CE without degradation of HDL protein. Mice with attenuated expression of SR-BI, because of targeted gene mutation (SR-BIatt mice), have increased plasma HDL levels as a result of decreased selective uptake in the liver. To further evaluate the role of SR-BI in...
