Abstract
Human adipose tissue contains one of the largest pools of exchangeable cholesterol in the body, accounting for about 25 percent of total body cholesterol in normal man (1,2). This adipose cholesterol pool is much expanded in obesity and in the massively obese state, well over half of total body cholesterol can be found in the fat tissue (1,2). Obesity is also commonly associated with a number of lipoprotein abnormalities. Increased synthesis and/or turnover of LDL (3) and VLDL (4,5) have been reported. In addition, HDL-cholesterol in plasma is significantly reduced (6–13) and has been attributed primarily to a decrease in the HDL2 subfraction (7).
