Human high density lipoprotein (HDL3) was reconstituted with the free cholesterol molecules replaced with 4-[13C]-cholesterol. 90 MHz [13C]-NMR spectra were obtained and two cholesterol resonances at chemical shifts of 41.73 and 42.20 ppm could be resolved. The former signal arises from the C-4 atom of cholesterol molecules associated with phospholipids and located in the surface of the HDL3particle while the latter resonance is due to cholesterol molecules associated with cholesterol ester and triglyceride molecules in the core. HDL3reconstituted without any cholesterol ester or triglyceride gave a single resonance at 41.73 ppm indicating that all the free cholesterol molecules are in the surface. 60% of the free cholesterol molecules present in normal HDL3are in the phospholipid monolayer around the surface where they undergo relatively restricted motion compared to the remaining 40% situated in the liquid core. The free cholesterol molecules can equilibrate between the two pools in the timescale 10ms–700s.
