Role of polymorphisms of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene in atherogenesis
Abstract The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma protein that transfers cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between plasma lipoproteins. Humans with a genetic CETP deficiency have high plasma high density lipopoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, whereas the CETP transgene lowers...
