title: Concentration of "available" unesterified cholesterol in human plasma as evaluated from inhibition of hemolysis by lucensomycin.
abstract: The unesterified cholesterol content of plasma samples can be evaluated from the extent of inhibition of lucensomycin-induced hemolysis. The test measures, however, only the fraction of cholesterol which is available for interaction with lucensomycin, this availability being adversely  affected by high phospholipid-cholesterol ratios.
