Evaluation of the in vivo role of p-glycoprotein in the maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis

Removal of cholesterol from the body is the final step in reverse cholesterol transport, the process by which excess cholesterol is moved from peripheral tissues to the liver for excretion. Several provocative studies led us to probe the contributions of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), an ATP-dependent transp...
