Thermal transitions in human plasma low density lipoproteins

R J Deckelbaum et al. Science. .

Abstract

Thermal analysis of human plasma low density lipoproteins reveals a broad reversible transition encompassing body temperature. The calorimetric and x-ray scattering data identify this transition as a cooperation, liquid-crystalline to liquid phase change involving the cholesterol esters in the lipoprotein. This behavior requires the presence of a region rich in cholesterol ester within the lipoprotein.
