Is reverse cholesterol transport a misnomer for suggesting its role in the prevention of atheroma formation?

Atherosclerosis - 1 Jul 1995

Quintão E C

Abstract excerpt

Reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral tissues, including the arterial wall, involves high density lipoprotein (HDL) uptake of unesterified cell cholesterol, its esterification by lecithin-cholesterol-acyl-transferase (LCAT), direct HDL-cholesteryl ester uptake by the liver and the indirect pathway consisting of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)-mediated transfer of HDL-cholesteryl ester to...
