Cholesterol Ester Transfer Protein Inhibitor Review [PDF]
Treatment of blood cholesterol is part of a strategy to lower atherosclerotic cardiovascular (ASCVD) risk. While use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors to modify cholesterol levels is the primary means of lowering the risk of an ASCVD event, residual risk remains.

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors: from high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering agents? [PDF]
Abstract Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a liver-synthesized glycoprotein whose main functions are facilitating transfer of both cholesteryl esters from high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles to apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing particles as well as transfer of triglycerides from apoB-containing particles to HDL particles.

Genetic obesity increases pancreatic expression of mitochondrial proteins which regulate cholesterol efflux in BRIN-BD11 insulinoma cells [PDF]
Pancreatic β-cells are sensitive to fluctuations in cholesterol content, which can damage the insulin secretion pathway, contributing to the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Role of cholesteryl ester transfer protein in reverse cholesterol transport [PDF]
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and apolipoprotein E (apo E) play important roles in reverse cholesterol transport in humans. CETP transfers cholesteryl ester (CE) from high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to other lipoproteins, mainly very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) remnants, which provide a vehicle for the delivery of HDL-derived CE to the ...

Polyphenol alkyl ester inhibits membrane cholesterol domain formation through an antioxidant mechanism based, in nonlinear fashion, on chain length [PDF]
Under conditions of oxidative stress, cholesterol aggregates into discrete membrane bilayer domains that precipitate the formation of extracellular crystals, a hallmark feature of the advanced atheroma in cardiovascular disease.

Structure and Function of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein in Cholesterol Transferring [PDF]
Human cholesteryl ester mass can be transferred from atheroprotective high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to atherogenic low-density lipoproteins (LDL) by cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), resulting higher probability of cardiovascular diseases. Finding out the mechanism of CETP in CE transferring would be an important basis and key step toward ...

Reduction in the concentration and activity of plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein by alcohol.
Plasma cholesteryl esters, synthesized within high density lipoproteins (HDL), may be transferred from HDL particles to other lipoproteins by plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP).
