Lymphatics as a new active player in reverse cholesterol transport

Abstract

Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), a key function of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), prevents excess cholesterol in tissues. A study in this issue (Lim et al., 2013) suggests that lymphatic vessels are critical for normal RCT and mediate the active trans-endothelial transport of HDL via the HDL receptor SR-BI.
