Simultaneous induction of an HDL receptor protein (SR-BI) and the selective uptake of HDL-cholesteryl esters in a physiologically relevant steroidogenic cell model

This study addresses the question of whether the level of expression of SR-BI (an HDL receptor) is linked to the expression of selective lipoprotein-cholesteryl ester delivery in a steroidogenic cell model. Rat ovarian granulosa cells are physiologically normal cells which show no selective uptake o...
