摘要:Sera of transgenic rats expressing human apoA-I were tested for their ability to stimulate efflux of radiolabeled cholesterol from Fu5AH rat hepatoma cells. Expression of human apoA-I resulted in a dose-dependent increase in HDL, as measured by both HDL-cholesterol and HDL-phospholipid, and produced a decrease in rat apoA-I. In rats expressing high concentrations of human apoA-I (TgR[hAI]high, human apoA-I > 250 mg/dl), the increase in HDL-phospholipid was not proportional to the increase in human apoA-I, as illustrated by a HDL-PL/total apoA-I ratio of 0.84 +/- 0.19 compared to a ratio of 1.28 +/- 0.29 for control rats and of 1.28 +/- 0.39 for rats expressing low levels of human apoA-I (TgR[hAI]low, human apoA-I
