Abstract
Net esterification of cholesterol was studied in vitro in the plasma of normal subjects and of patients with different types of hyperlipidemia. Net esterification of cholesterol was found to be significantly enhanced in types IIa, IV and V of human primary hyperlipidemia. In the plasma of all normal and hyperlipidemic subjects taken as a group, net esterification of cholesterol is significantly correlated with free cholesterol (p<0.001) and with phosphatidyl choline (p<0.001).
