College ofPhysicians & Surgeons, New York 10032 Introduction' Plasma HDL are small, dense,
spherical lipid-protein complexes. They consist of 50% lipid and 50% protein. The major lipids
are phospholipid (PL),2 cholesterol (C), cholesteryl esters (CE), and triglycerides (TG). The
major proteins are apo AI(Mr 28,000) and apo A-II (Mr 17,000). There are also a variety of minor …
