Citrulline increases cholesterol efflux from macrophages in vitro and ex vivo via ATP-binding cassette transporters

Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is a mechanism critical to the anti-atherogenic property of HDL. Although citrulline contributes to the amelioration of atherosclerosis via endothelial nitric oxide production, it remains unclear whether it affects RCT. This study was undertaken to clarify the eff...
