Abstract excerpt
We have used adenovirus-mediated gene transfer in apoA-I-deficient (A-I-/-) mice to probe the in vivo assembly and metabolism of HDL using apoA-I variants, focusing primarily on the role of the C-terminal 32 amino acids (helices 9-10). Lipid, lipoprotein, and apoA-I analyses showed that plasma levels of apoA-I and HDL of the mutants were 40-88% lower than that of wild type (WT) human apoA-I despite comparable...
