Plasma HDL-cholesterol concentrations correlate negatively with the risk of atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). According to a widely cited model, HDL elicits its …

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) promotes the transfer of cholesteryl esters from
antiatherogenic HDLs to proatherogenic apolipoprotein B (apoB)–containing lipoproteins …

High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is an important risk factor for coronary heart
disease, and HDL exerts various potentially antiatherogenic properties, including the …

ContextIndividuals with exceptional longevity have a lower incidence and/or significant
delay in the onset of age-related disease, and their family members may inherit biological …

Context The importance of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) pathway in coronary
disease is uncertain. Study of CETP genotypes can help better understand the relevance of …

Although the atheroprotective role of HDL cholesterol (HDL-c) is well documented, effective
therapeutics to selectively increase plasma HDL-c levels are not yet available. Recent …

Using a vaccine approach, we immunized New Zealand White rabbits with a peptide
containing a region of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) known to be required for …

Background—The level of HDL cholesterol is inversely related to the risk of ischemic heart
disease. Methods and Results—In 9168 women and men from a general population and …

A new polymorphism located at position− 629 (CETP/− 629A/C) in the promoter of the
cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene is described. The− 629A allele was …

Since the identification of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), its role in the modulation
of HDL levels and cardiovascular disease has been debated. With the early detection of …
