Abstract
The ABC transporter ABCA1 plays a key role in the first steps of the reverse cholesterol transport pathway by mediating lipid efflux from macrophages. Previously, it was demonstrated that human ABCA1 overexpression in vivo in transgenic mice results in a mild elevation of plasma HDL levels and increased efflux of cholesterol from macrophages. In this study, we determined the effect of overexpression of ABCA1 on atherosclerosis development. Human ABCA1 transgenic mice (BAC+) were crossed with ApoE–/– mice, a strain that spontaneously develop atherosclerotic lesions. BAC+ApoE–/– mice developed dramatically smaller, less-complex lesions as compared with their ApoE–/– counterparts. In addition, there was increased efflux of cholesterol from macrophages isolated from the BAC+ApoE–/– mice. Although the increase in plasma HDL cholesterol levels was small, HDL particles from BAC+ApoE–/– mice were significantly better acceptors of cholesterol. Lipid analysis of HDL particles from BAC+ApoE–/– mice revealed an increase in phospholipid levels, which was correlated significantly with their ability to enhance cholesterol efflux.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
