NNPDF-Funded Research Grant # 3

TITLE: Quantitation of Cholesterol Transport and Tissue Cholesterol Pool Sizes In Vivo Niemann-Pick Type C Disease
PROJECT INVESTIGATOR: Charles C. Schwartz, M.D.

PERIOD: -

PROJECT DESCRIPTION   STATUS REPORT
Dated
Although in vitro studies have shown that the lysosomal distribution of LDLderived cholesterol is defective in cultured cells of NP-C subjects, no unusual characteristics mark the plasma lipoprotein profiles.
We aim to determine whether anomalies exist in vivo in the cellular distribution of newly synthesized, HDLderived or LDL-derived cholesterol under physiologic conditions in NP-C subjects.
