Secretion of very low density lipoproteins enriched in cholesteryl esters by cultured rat hepatocytes during simulation of intracellular cholesterol esterification

Very low density lipoproteins, newly secreted by cultured rat hepatocytes into a serum-free medium, contain some cholesteryl esters although the percentage of total cholesterol in ester form is less than that in plasma very low density lipoproteins. When acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase activity...
