Molecular physiology of reverse cholesterol transport. [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 1995 Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is the pathway by which peripheral cell cholesterol can be returned to the liver for catabolism. Evidence of specific functions for molecular structures within individual plasma lipoprotein species has rapidly accumulated from recent studies using molecular and cellular physiology techniques.

P2Y13 Receptor Is Critical for Reverse Cholesterol Transport [PDF]
Hepatology, 2010 A major atheroprotective functionality of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) is to promote “reverse cholesterol transport” (RCT). In this process, HDLs mediate the efflux and transport of cholesterol from peripheral cells and its subsequent transport to the liver for further metabolism and ...

The ins and outs of reverse cholesterol transport
Annals of Medicine, 2004 It is generally assumed that HDL is the obligate transport vehicle for 'reverse cholesterol transport', the pathway for removal of excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues via the liver into bile and subsequent excretion via the feces. During the last few years, intensive research has generated exciting new data on the separate processes involved in ...
