Abstract excerpt
Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is a multiligand cell-surface receptor that plays a central role in high density lipoprotein homeostasis in rodents. To investigate a role for SR-BI in atherosclerosis, mice with attenuated SR-BI expression were crossed with low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient mice. Compound-homozygous mutants showed increased plasma cholesterol, surprisingly due primarily to increased...
