Figure 1

Schematic representation of lipoproteins. (A) Illustration of the proposed LDL structure at 37 °C with an inner core consisting of free cholesterol, cholesteryl esters and triglycerides, surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipid fatty acyl tails and an outer hydrophilic layer consisting of the lipid headgroups and apolipoprotein ApoB-100. (B) The proposed structural model of HDL with a core structure similar to that of the LDL but including a variable number of apolipoprotein ApoA1.
