Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study will evaluate the use of radiolabeled particulate cholesterol administered intravenously in association with albumin, as a method to study reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in humans by analyzing changes in the tracer activity in total plasma and lipoproteins. The study population is healthy volunteers.

Group 2 is comprised of 6 healthy subjects with high HDL-C levels \> 75th percentile.
3H-Cholesterol
A single dose of 25-50 μCi 3H free cholesterol -albumin complexes (containing approximately 0.1 - 0.3 mg of cholesterol) will be administered intravenously as a slow bolus injection within 1-2 minutes.
Group 3
Group 2 is comprised of 6 healthy subjects with low HDL-C levels \< 25th percentile.
3H-Cholesterol
A single dose of 25-50 μCi 3H free cholesterol -albumin complexes (containing approximately 0.1 - 0.3 mg of cholesterol) will be administered intravenously as a slow bolus injection within 1-2 minutes.
