title: The metabolism in vivo and in vitro of plasma low-density lipoprotein from a subject with inherited hypercholesterolaemia.
abstract: 1. The metabolism in vivo and in vitro of an abnormal low-density lipoprotein (LDL) obtained from a patient with an inherited form of hypercholesterolaemia was compared with that of LDL obtained from a normal subject. 2. The rates of turnover of the apoprotein of the two types of LDL in a normal subject, and their uptake and catabolism by normal lymphocytes in vitro, were similar. 3. It is concluded that the abnormal behaviour of the patient's LDL may not be due to an abnormality in the apoprotein component.
