We determined cholesteryl ester transfer activity in whole plasma and in lipoprotein-depleted plasma of normolipidemic subjects and of patients with severe high-density lipoprotein (HDL) deficiency: Tangier disease, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency, and "fish-eye" disease. Transfer rates in plasma were positively correlated (r = 0.950) with rates measured in the absence of...
