TLDR
Evidence that HDL retroendocytosis represents one of the pathways for cholesterol efflux is presented, as well as three physiologically relevant cell systems, including the liver cell line HepG2, the adrenal cell line Y1BS1, and phorbol myristate acetate-differentiated THP-1 cells as a model for macrophages.

Cellular cholesterol delivery, intracellular processing and utilization for biosynthesis of steroid hormones.

TL;DR: The structure and function of SR-BI, the importance of the selective cholesterol transport pathway in providing cholesterol substrate for steroid biosynthesis and the role of two key proteins, StAR and PBR/TSO in facilitating cholesterol delivery to inner mitochondrial membrane sites are discussed.

Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and meso-Zeaxanthin: The Basic and Clinical Science Underlying Carotenoid-based Nutritional Interventions against Ocular Disease

TL;DR: The chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, and physiology of these yellow pigments that are specifically concentrated in the macula lutea are examined through the means of high-affinity binding proteins and specialized transport and metabolic proteins where they play important roles as short-wavelength light-absorbers and localized, efficient antioxidants in a region at high risk for light-induced oxidative stress.

Mechanisms for cellular cholesterol transport : Defects and human disease

TL;DR: Because of the organizing potential of cholesterol in membranes, disturbances in cellular cholesterol transport have implications for a wide variety of human diseases, of which selected examples are given.

Review 2058 The HDL hypothesis: does high-density lipoprotein protect from atherosclerosis?

TL;DR: A significant number of animal studies and clinical trials support an atheroprotective role for HDL; however, most of these findings were obtained in the context of marked changes in other plasma lipids so future research remains essential to prove the HDL hypothesis correct.

Identification of Scavenger Receptor SR-BI as a High Density Lipoprotein Receptor

TL;DR: It is shown that the class B scavenger receptor SR-BI is an HDL receptor, which mediates selective cholesterol uptake by a mechanism distinct from the classic LDL receptor pathway.

Receptor-mediated endocytosis of low-density lipoprotein in cultured cells

TL;DR: Study of the cell surface binding, internalization, and metabolism of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in cultured cells have provided useful information regarding the general aspects of receptor-mediated endocytosis and three classes of mutant alleles at the LDL receptor locus have been deduced.

The gene encoding ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 is mutated in Tangier disease

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that TD is caused by mutations in ABC1, encoding a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family, located on chromosome 9q22–31, which has implications for the understanding of cellular HDL metabolism and reverse cholesterol transport, and its association with premature cardiovascular disease.
