Functional lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency and high density lipoprotein deficiency in transgenic mice overexpressing human apolipoprotein A-II.

Abstract excerpt

The concentration of high density lipoproteins (HDL) is inversely related to the risk of atherosclerosis. The two major protein components of HDL are apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and apoA-II. To study the role of apoA-II in lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis, we have developed three lines of C57BL/6 transgenic mice expressing human apoA-II (lines 25.3, 21.5, and 11.1). Northern blot experiments showed that...
