High-density lipoprotein (HDL) promotes reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral tissues to the liver for clearance. Reduced HDL-cholesterol (HDLc) is associated with atherosclerosis; however, as a predictor of cardiovascular disease, HDLc has limitations because it is not a direct marker of HDL functionality. Our objective was to develop a mass spectrometry-based method for the simultaneous measurement of HDLc and ApoAI kinetics in mice, using a single (2)H2O tracer, and use it to examine genetic and drug perturbations on HDL turnover in vivo.
