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).

Biochemical characterization of cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has been identified as a novel target for increasing HDL cholesterol levels. In this report, we describe the biochemical characterization of anacetrapib, a potent inhibitor of CETP.

Most of the cholesterol in intestinal chyle and chylomicrons is derived from plasma. Our aim was to determine how much plasma low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoproteins contribute to the cholesterol in chyle and chylomicrons, and to examine ...

Elevation of plasma phospholipid transfer protein in transgenic mice increases VLDL secretion
Two lipid transfer proteins are active in human plasma, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP). Mice by nature do not express CETP.

BackgroundDespite the widespread application of new drug-eluting stents, a considerable portion of patients experience in-stent restenosis (ISR). To date, the pathophysiologic mechanisms of ISR remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we collected ...

Eight proteins potentially involved in cholesterol efflux [ABCA1, ABCG1, CYP27A1, phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), scavenger receptor type BI (SR-BI), caveolin-1, cholesteryl ester transfer protein, and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I)] were ...

Human atherosclerotic intima contains mast cells that secrete the neutral protease chymase into the intimal fluid, which also contains HDL-modifying proteins, such as cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), in addition to abundant amounts of nascent ...

We have previously reported that normolipidemic smokers are lipid intolerant due to increased responses of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) apolipoprotein B-48, triglyceride (TG), and retinyl esters to a mixed meal compared to non-smokers.

Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)D4 is a member of the StAR related lipid transfer family. Homology comes from the ∼210 amino acid lipid binding domain implicated in intracellular transport, cell signaling, and lipid metabolism.
