...David Rhainds; Philippe Bourgeois; Geneviève Bourret; Karine Huard; Louise Falstrault; Louise Brissette The scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-BI) mediates cholesteryl esters (CE) selective uptake from low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. In a number...

... the intestinal expression, spatiotemporal distributions, ontogeny and function of the scavenger receptor, Class B, Type I (SR-BI) that plays a crucial role in cholesterol homeostasis. SR-BI was detected as early as week 14 of gestation in all gut segments and was almost entirely confined to the absorptive...

...-BI/II reduced the cell association of HDL T and native HDL by 50%. The addition of polyinosinic acid, an inhibitor of SR class A, reduced the cell association of HDL T without affecting that of native HDL. These findings provide evidence that HDL T can compete with modified LDL, bind SR-BI/BII...
