Abstract
Radiolabeled cholesterol ester was introduced into reconstituted low density lipoproteins (rLDL) and we studied its hydrolysis in the rLDL by a particulate fraction of a rat arterial wall homogenate, and in acetylated rLDL by homogenates of rat peritoneal macrophages. There was very low hydrolytic activity on cholesterol ester in either rLDL or acetylated rLDL at neutral or alkaline pH values, the activity showing a single peak at about pH 4.5.
