Effect of cell death on the detection of HDL formation by apoA-I-POLARIC. BHK/ABCA1 cells were treated with (filled bars) or without (open bars) 10 nM mifepristone for 20 h and incubated with 2.5 μg/ml apoA-I-POLARIC in the presence or absence of 0.1 mg/ml CaCl2 and 0.1 mg/ml MgCl26H2O for 6 h. Cholesterol content in the medium (A) and fluorescence intensity of the medium (B) were determined. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; n.s., not significant.
