| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) has various anti-atherosclerotic functions and testing its cholesterol level is widely used for laboratory medicine. However, HDL is not single particle. There are various types of HDL and their characters should be investigated in detail to understand the mechanism of the progression of atherosclerosis. We revealed that HDL diversification is involved in interaction between HDL and other lipoproteins, red blood cells or hepatic cells where some enzymes and lipids are exchanged. We also demonstrated that serum amyloid A does not affect HDL measurement by a homogeneous assay. Moreover, we found one of anti-atherosclerotic function of minor HDL.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年，単なるHDLの量的評価だけでなく，質的評価が注目されている．HDLの質を理解するためには，多様なHDLの一つ一つの形成機序や機能を明らかにする必要があるが，まだ十分に明らかになっていない．今回の研究成果により，HDLの多様化の機序や機能の一端を明らかにすることができた．これにより，これまでのHDLの定量では不十分であった粥状動脈硬化との関連を説明する手助けとなり，また，通常のHDLとは機能の異なるマイナーHDLの検出など新たなバイオマーカー開発の手がかりになると考えられる．
