- [1.3]
- Intestinal HDL is not routed to the systemic circulation. Rather, in the form of HDL3, it is directly transported to the liver through the hepatic portal vein.
- There, it sequesters bacterial lipopolysaccharide from the gut that can trigger inflammation and liver damage.
- In various models of liver injury, loss of enteric HDL exacerbated pathology.
- By contrast, drugs elevating intestinal HDL improved disease outcomes.
