We recently reported that the rate of efflux of cholesterol from cells to high density lipoprotein
(HDL) was related to the expression level of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI).
Moreover, the expression of this receptor in atheromatous arteries raises the possibility that
SR-BI mediates cholesterol efflux in the arterial wall (Ji, Y., Jian, B., Wang, N., Sun, Y., de la
Llera Moya, M., Phillips, MC, Rothblat, GH, Swaney, JB, and Tall, AR (1997) J. Biol. Chem.
