Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) Deficiency and CETP Inhibitors
Epidemiologic studies have shown that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a strong risk factor, whilst high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) reduces the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Therefore, strategies to manage dyslipidemia in an effort to prevent or treat CHD have primarily attempted at decreasing LDL-C and raising HDL-C levels. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein ...
متن کاملPlasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein.
The plasma lipoproteins are continuously remodeled during their transit through the plasma compartment, owing to the action of lipid metabolizing enzymes and lipid transfer processes. These activities have a major effect on the composition, size, and concentration of the lipoproteins. Lipid transfer processes involving neutral lipids and phospholipids are mediated by specialized plasma proteins...
متن کاملCholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) increases postprandial triglyceridaemia and delays triacylglycerol plasma clearance in transgenic mice.
The CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) is a plasma protein synthesized in several tissues, mainly in the liver; CETP reduces plasma HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol and increases the risk of atherosclerosis. The effect of CETP levels on postprandial intravascular metabolism of TAGs (triacylglycerols) is an often-overlooked aspect of the relationship between CETP and lipoprotein...
متن کاملCholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) genotype and cognitive function in persons aged 35 years or older
Common polymorphisms of the Cholestryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) gene may predict lower risk of cognitive decline. We investigated the association of cognitive function with CETP genotype in a population-based cohort of 4135 persons aged 35-82 years. Cognitive function was measured with the Ruff Figural Fluency Test (RFFT; worst score, 0 points; best score, 175 points) and CETP I405V and Ta...
متن کاملRapid communication: genetic linkage and physical mapping of the porcine cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene.
Source and Description of Primers. The conserved sequences of human and rabbit cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene (CETP) (GenBank accession numbers NM000078 and M27486, respectively) were used to design primers to PCR amplify porcine CETP. The primers amplified a 970-bp fragment of porcine CETP gene spanning an intron between exon 1 and exon 2. The porcine CETP sequence (GenBank accession ...
