What is the ratio of lecithin to apolipoprotein a in the absence of cholesterol?

21 January 2015 1 7K Report

I've been told that there is a maximum amount of lecithin that may be incorporated into Apo A-1 but am unable to find any support for this notion in the literature. The ratio I was given is 18 lec : 1 apo. Does anyone know if this is true and have a reference for it? My own work appears to dispute this number!
