Plasma 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 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 کاملStatins, Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Inhibition, High Density Lipoprotein Particle Metabolism and Heart Disease Risk Reduction
Statins have been shown to decrease cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity (CETP) activity, and rearrange HDL particles. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors (JTT-705 and torcetrapib) are currently in clinical testing and significantly raise high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Low HDL cholesterol is a significant independent predictor of coronary heart diseas...
متن کاملEffects of high-density lipoprotein elevation with cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibition on insulin secretion.
RATIONALE High-density lipoprotein cholesterol elevation via cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibition represents a novel therapy for atherosclerosis, which also may have relevance for type 2 diabetes mellitus. OBJECTIVE The current study assessed the effects of a CETP inhibitor on postprandial insulin, ex vivo insulin secretion, and cholesterol efflux from pancreatic β-cells. ME...
متن کاملInhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein by fungal metabolites, L681,512.
The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) promotes exchange and transfer of neutral lipids such as cholesteryl ester (CE) and triacylglycerol (TG) between plasma lipoproteins. Evidence is accumulating for involvement of CETP in atherosclerosis1'2). Therefore, CETP is expected as a novel target of inhibition for anti-atherosclerotic agents. In the course of our screening for CETP inhibitors ...
