The LDLs are then pulled out of the bloodstream by special protein receptors on the surface of cells. "These receptors reach out and grab cholesterol like a first baseman catching a ball thrown by a shortstop," says Dr. Michael Brown of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, who, with his colleague Dr. Joseph Goldstein, won a Nobel Prize in 1985 for discovering LDL receptors. What happens to excess LDLs that are not taken up by cells? Under normal conditions, these are swept...
