Preferred Label : high-density lipoproteins, pre-beta;
MeSH definition : A highly dense subclass of the high-density lipoproteins, with particle sizes below
7 nm. They are also known as nascent HDL, composed of a few APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I molecules
which are complexed with PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The lipid-poor pre-beta-HDL particles serve
as progenitors of HDL3 and then HDL2 after absorption of free cholesterol from cell
membranes, cholesterol esterification, and acquisition of apolipoproteins A-II, Cs,
and E. Pre-beta-HDL initiate the reverse cholesterol transport process from cells
to liver.;
