Cholesteryl ester transfer protein: at the heart of the action of lipid-modulating therapy with statins, fibrates, niacin, and cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors
Subnormal plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) constitute a major cardiovascular risk factor; raising low HDL-C levels may therefore reduce the residual cardiovascular risk that frequently presents in dyslipidaemic subjects despite statin therapy. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), a key modulator not only of the intravascular metabolism of HDL and apolipoprotei...
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 کاملTransfer of cholesteryl ester into high density lipoprotein by cholesteryl ester transfer protein: effect of HDL lipid and apoprotein content.
Recombinant high density lipoprotein (rHDL) particles were prepared by cosonication of purified lipids and human apoproteins and incubated with partly purified cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) containing [3H]cholesteryl ester. Increasing the triglyceride content relative to cholesteryl ester in rHDL significantly decreased the ability of the particles ...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors.
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has been identified as a novel target for increasing HDL cholesterol levels. In this report, we describe the biochemical characterization of anacetrapib, a potent inhibitor of CETP. To better understand the mechanism by which anacetrapib inhibits CETP activity, its biochemical properties were compared with CETP inhibitors from distinct structural classe...
متن کاملCholesteryl 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 ...
