Niacin reduces plasma CETP levels by diminishing liver macrophage content in CETP transgenic mice

open access: yesBiochemical Pharmacology, 2012
The anti-dyslipidemic drug niacin has recently been shown to reduce the hepatic expression and plasma levels of CETP. Since liver macrophages contribute to hepatic CETP expression, we investigated the role of macrophages in the CETP-lowering effect of ...
