    It has been recently shown that the inhibition of apolipoprotein A-I (apoAI) reverse cholesterol transport activity during oxidation of HDL by myeloperoxidase may involve myeloperoxidase electron transfer pathways other than those leading to tyrosine chlorination. To better understand how such mecha...
