โฆ Synopsis
Excess cholesterol (CHL) was incorporated into serum lipoproteins by incubation with Cefiteยฎ-dispersed CHL or CHL crystals. The initial rates of uptake were 15 and 7 tool CHL/ tool lipoprotein x h -t for low (LDL) and high (HDL) density lipoprotein, respectively. Saturation values were obtained after 48 h and were 90 and 65 tool CHL/mol LDL, and 42 and 32 tool/tool tlDL using CHL on Celite and CHL crystals, respectively. Characterization of the lipoproteins showed a small change in electrophoretic mobility and an increase in molecular masses, especially after incubation with CHL on Celite. Spectroscopic methods showed only minor effects on the protein moieties. Key~v)rds. serum lipoproteins; cholesterol incorporation; lipoprotein structure.
