In vivo macrophage-specific RCT and antioxidant and antiinflammatory HDL activity measurements: New tools for predicting HDL atheroprotection.

abstract：:The possible mechanisms of action of probucol on the metabolism of low density lipoprotein and of high density lipoprotein were studied in 5 hyperlipidaemic subjects. The kinetics of LDL-B protein and of HDL-AI protein were determined by 2-pool analysis of specific radioactivity-time curves after reinjection of 131I-l...
