Abstract
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and platelet activation factor (PAF) were found respectively to activate or to inhibit cholesterol esterification in whole plasma but not in lipoprotein-deficient plasma. It is suggested that these effects are mediated by the interaction of PGE1 and PAF with high-density lipoproteins [(1984) FEBS Lett. 173, 291-294]. Possible physiological implications of these findings are discussed.Platelet activating factorHigh density lipoproteinCholesterol esterificatioKeywords
