摘要: This review describes recent advances that have been made in the separation of HDL subfractions by physicochemical and immunological methods relationship between particles obtained different procedures. The metabolic interconversions occur as a result cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) lipase activities their role formation mature reverse cholesterol transport are discussed. Also considered alterations subpopulation profile coronary heart disease possible mechanisms which may protect against this condition.
