Abstract
Plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDL) represent a highly heterogeneous group of particles which are involved in a number of metabolic processes including steroidogenesis, bile salt formation, cholesterol uptake, the binding of cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), and reverse cholesterol transport. The precursors of plasma HDL originate from the intestine or the liver, and upon formation of HDL3 particles, tissue cholesterol is generated and included into the particles.
