Cell models for search of substanses promoting reverse cholesterol transport
1- Institute for Atherosclerosis Research: 4-1 I. Franko Str., 121355, Moscow, Russia.

Brief summary
Cultured cell models have been developed to study the cholesterol efflux from the arterial wall as an integral indicator of reverse cholesterol transport. The models and the results of in vivo and ex vivo experiments can be used to propose new antiatherosclerotic drugs and elucidate their mood of action.
