These studies were undertaken to investigate the mechanism whereby diet modification alters the plasma concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl ester and apoA-I and to determine whether diet-induced alterations in circulating HDL levels are associated with changes in the rate of reverse cholesterol transport. Rates of HDL cholesteryl ester and apoA-I transport were measured i...
