Apolipoprotein composition of HDL in cholesteryl ester transfer protein deficiency.
Our purpose was to compare HDL subpopulations, as determined by nondenaturing two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting for apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), apoA-II, apoA-IV, apoCs, and apoE in heterozygous, compound heterozygous, and homozygous subjects for cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency and controls. Heterozygotes, compound heterozygotes, and homozygotes...
متن کاملEffects of an inhibitor of cholesteryl ester transfer protein on HDL cholesterol.
BACKGROUND Decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels constitute a major risk factor for coronary heart disease; however, there are no therapies that substantially raise HDL cholesterol levels. Inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has been proposed as a strategy to raise HDL cholesterol levels. METHODS We conducted a single-blind, placebo-controlled study t...
متن کاملInhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein by torcetrapib modestly increases macrophage cholesterol efflux to HDL.
OBJECTIVE This study examines the effects of pharmacological inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) on the ability of high-density lipoprotein particles (HDL) to promote net cholesterol efflux from human THP-1 macrophage foam cells. METHODS AND RESULTS Two groups of 8 healthy, moderately hyperlipidemic subjects received the CETP inhibitor torcetrapib at 60 or 120 mg daily for...
متن کاملFenofibrate increases HDL-cholesterol by reducing cholesteryl ester transfer protein expression.
In addition to efficiently decreasing VLDL-triglycerides (TGs), fenofibrate increases HDL-cholesterol levels in humans. We investigated whether the fenofibrate-induced increase in HDL-cholesterol is dependent on the expression of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). To this end, APOE*3-Leiden (E3L) transgenic mice without and with the human CETP transgene, under the control of its nat...
