Targeted deletion of endothelial lipase increases HDL particles with anti-inflammatory properties both in vitro and in vivo

Previous studies have shown that targeted deletion of endothelial lipase (EL) markedly increases the plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level in mice. However, little is known about the functional quality of HDL particles after EL inhibition. Therefore, the present study assessed th...
