Key result
HDL free cholesterol incorporates more rapidly into biliary cholesterol than LDL free cholesterol.
Case Report (n=1)
High- and low-density lipoproteins carrying free cholesterol labeled with 3H or 14C were administered to a patient with a bile fistula. The free cholesterol from high-density lipoproteins was more rapidly incorporated into biliary cholesterol than the free cholesterol from low-density lipoproteins. These findings show that the liver in man selectively utilizes and secretes the free cholesterol from a particular lipoprotein.

Schwartz et al. (1978) conducted a case report in Bile fistula (n=1). High-density lipoproteins carrying labeled free cholesterol vs. Low-density lipoproteins carrying labeled free cholesterol was evaluated on Incorporation into biliary cholesterol. Free cholesterol from high-density lipoproteins was more rapidly incorporated into biliary cholesterol than free cholesterol from low-density lipoproteins.
