Incubation of whole blood samples at 37 degrees C caused a time-dependent increase in plasma cholesterol concentrations. In samples from 40 fasting healthy males, plasma cholesterol rose by 13.6 +/- 3% during 24 h (P less than 0.001). Changes in cholesterol concentrations were found in both the HDL fraction and the VLDL/LDL fraction. The increase in lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations correlated positively with the initial levels of HDL cholesterol and apo A-I; and with the original levels of VLDL/LDL cholesterol, apo B and triglycerides. The increase in plasma total cholesterol was not related to the HDL cholesterol and apo A-I concentrations. It was more pronounced in samples with elevated plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, VLDL/LDL cholesterol, apo B and triglycerides. The elevation in plasma total cholesterol resulted from an increase in cholesteryl esters, whereas free cholesterol decreased. After LCAT inhibition no changes in total, free and esterified cholesterol were observed. Therefore, increase in plasma cholesterol seems to represent a LCAT-dependent cholesterol transport out of blood cells.
