Remodelling of high density lipoproteins by plasma factors / by Hui-Qi Liang.

Bibliography: leaves 105-151. / xi, 151, [47] leaves, [3] leaves of plates : ill. ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / This thesis examines the effect of remodelling HDL on the metabolism of apo A-I. The major focus is on the effects of CETP and LCAT in the regulation of apo A-I concentration in DHL. The effects of incubation of HDL with CETP in the presence of VLDL and/or LDL on apo A-I concentration in HDL are examined. The characterization of the dissociated apo A-I from HDL is presented. The studies demonstrate that the dissociation of apo A-I from HDL mediated by CETP is preventable and reversible in a process dependent on LCAT activity. The mechanism by which HDL apo A-I content is increased is also explored. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Medicine, 1997?
