Experiments were undertaken to evaluate the effects of factors that stimulate the secretion of HDL from the liver on the release of HL."

"Treatment of HepG2 cells with linoleic acid phospholipids (LAPL) (12 mc M) promotes a similar increase in the accumulation of both HDL and HL in the cell media. LAPL also induce both apoA-I and HL release from primary human hepatocytes. Dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine has a greater effect on both apoA-I secretion and HL release than...
