Abstract excerpt
Human carriers of apolipoprotein A-I(Milano) (Arg173 --> Cys substitution in apolipoprotein A-I) are characterized by an HDL deficiency in which small, dense HDL accumulate in plasma. Because affected individuals are heterozygous for this mutation, the full impact of apolipoprotein A-I(Milano) (apoA-I(Milano)) on HDL-cholesterol metabolism is unknown. In this study, apoA-I(Milano) transgenic mice were used to...
