Increased catabolic rate of low density lipoproteins in humans with cholesteryl ester transfer protein deficiency.
The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) transfers lipids among lipoprotein particles and plays a central role in lipoprotein metabolism. Humans with genetic deficiency of CETP have both elevated HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I concentrations as well as decreased LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the metabolic basis for the de...
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 کاملAccelerated Cholesteryl Ester Transfer
To discern the mechanism(s) that underlie abnormal cholesteryl ester transfer (CET) in patients with hypercholesterolemia, we have studied this dysfunctional step in reverse cholesterol transport in 13 subjects with genetically heterogeneous forms of hypercholesterolemia (HC). In all HC patients, the mass of CE transferred in whole plasma from HDL to VLDL and LDL increased rapidly initially and...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations of cholesteryl ester transfer protein in hyperlipoproteinemia. Relation to cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity and other lipoprotein variables.
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates an important pathway for reverse cholesterol transport. Concentrations of CETP in fasting plasma were measured by radioimmunoassay in two different groups of hyperlipoproteinemic subjects. Plasma CETP concentrations measured by radioimmunoassay correlated closely with cholesterol ester transfer activity in normal plasma (r = 0.86). In the first...
متن کاملRelationship between cholesteryl ester transfer protein and atherogenic lipoprotein profile in morbidly obese women.
OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality from atherosclerotic disease. Lipid abnormalities contribute to the increased relative risk in obese subjects. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mass is increased in these patients and might mediate the atherogenic lipoprotein pattern observed in obesity. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-one morbidly obese, middle-aged, ...
