Model parameter values.

Comparison of estimated model parameter values with measured rate constants found in the literature. a–hIndexes; see explanations in Dataset S3. For a and b, it might be more useful to compare the flux values (total transfer activities, mg/dl per day), because the literature substrate concentrations vary from that in our simulation. HDL-CE is approximately one third and VLDL-TG is approximately double of that in our simulation. In both cases, the CETP mass is much less even. a72.13 vs. 110.52 mg/dl · day−1. b297.45 vs. 15.87 mg/dl · day−1.
