this review includes a brief account of the routes of entry of cholesterol into the plasma by ( a ) secretion of lipoproteins and ( b ) uptake of tissue free cholesterol by lipoproteins in the interstitial fluid , the metabolic transformation undergone by cholesterol within the plasma , with particular reference to the esterification of plasma free cholesterol by lecithin : cholesteryl acyltransferase and the redistribution of esterified cholesterol from high-density to low-density and very-low-density lipoprotein , and the routes by which cholesterol is removed from the plasma by bulk transport .
