The cholesterol-raising diterpenes from coffee beans increase serum lipid transfer protein activity levels in humans [PDF]
Cafestol and kahweol–diterpenes present in unfiltered coffee— strongly raise serum VLDL and LDL cholesterol and slightly reduce HDL cholesterol in humans. The mechanism of action is unknown.

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 ...

Glycomic analysis of high density lipoprotein shows a highly sialylated particle. [PDF]
Many of the functional proteins and lipids in high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are potentially glycosylated, yet very little is known about the glycoconjugates of HDL.

Fenofibrate increases HDL-cholesterol by reducing cholesteryl ester transfer protein expression [PDF]
In addition to efficiently decreasing VLDL-triglycerides (TGs), fenofibrate increases HDL-cholesterol levels in humans. We investigated whether the fenofibrate-induced increase in HDL-cholesterol is dependent on the expression of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP).

Insulin decreases plasma cholesteryl ester transfer but not cholesterol esterification in healthy subjects as well as in normotriglyceridaemic patients with type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Background. Plasma cholesterol esterification (EST) and subsequent cholesteryl ester transfer (CET) from high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) towards apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins are key steps in HDL metabolism. Materials and methods.

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.

Influence of different fat emulsions with 10 or 20% MCT/LCT or LCT on lipoproteins in plasma of patients after abdominal surgery [PDF]
In patients after elective abdominal surgery, different fat emulsions were used to compare their efficacy in total parenteral nutrition and in normalizing plasma lipoprotein levels.

Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Expressed in Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase–Deficient Mice [PDF]
Objective— Regulation of plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) concentration was studied in lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT)-knockout mice. Methods and Results— LCAT-knockout mice were cross-bred with CETP

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.
