Altered HDL transfers may explain low HDL-C in LPL deficiency; hypothesis-generating for atherogenic mechanisms.
Are phospholipid and cholesteryl ester transfer altered in subjects with lipoprotein lipase deficiency compared to healthy controls?
Phospholipid and cholesteryl ester transfer are increased in lipoprotein lipase deficiency, which may partly explain the low HDL-cholesterol levels observed in these patients and contribute to atherogenesis.
Kaser et al. (2003) studied this question.
