Activity of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase in different parts of the circulatory system in man.
In 24 patients without liver disease lipids and LCAT activity were determined in the inferior vena cava, the hepatic vein, the pulmonary vein and in the left ventricle. The total cholesterol, free cholesterol and cholesterol ester concentrations are identical and differences in the LCAT activity cannot be demonstrated.
