Human plasma lipoproteins are lipid-protein complexes that transport water-insoluble lipids in the circulation and regulate lipid synthesis and catabolism [l-3], For many years, the plasma lipoproteins have attracted the attention of investigators interested in lipid transport [4, 5] and cardiovascular disease, However, in addition to their involvement in lipid transport and metabolism, other roles for the plasma lipoproteins have been~ recognized recently9 inclu~ ng inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation [6] and maintenance of immunologic homeostasis [7]. Plasma lipoproteins transport not only lipids but other lipophilic materials such as the drug reserpine [S], &carotene and lycopene. a-Tocopherol and dolichol [9] are specifically associated with human plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL), respectively. Benditt [IO] has suggested that two potential mutagens, benzo~ a] pyrene (BP) and me~ ylchol~ threne~ are also carried by the lipoproteins. It is believed that the blood is the main transport mechanism in cases of chemical carcinogens or drug action where systemic effects are observed
