In large part, the ability of eggs or other high cholesterol foods to raise plasma cholesterol depends on # eggs eaten and the presence or absence of NPC1L1 (sterol influx transporter) and ABCG5/ABCG8 (sterol efflux transporter) loss of functions. Sterol hyperabsorbers (ABCG5/G8 LOF) need to watch cholesterol (and phytosterol via supplement) intake. Sterol hypoabsorbers (NPC1L1 LOF) have little worries.

Thank you to the summer students, Sona Kosinski, Jack Yang & @IanMalinow, for their hard work & challenging us with new ideas! Hope you continue on in science; you all have a knack for it! Too bad I couldn’t be there today due to Covid. @UMmedschool @UM_Cardiology
