Background: The high-density lipoprotein (HDL) hypothesis of atherosclerosis has been challenged by clinical trials of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors which failed to show significant reductions in cardiovascular events.

Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

Background: Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors increase serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) concentration; however, their impact on cardiovascular outcomes is not clear.

Isolation and characterization of a phospholipid transfer protein (LTP-II) from human plasma.
In this report we have described the purification of a human plasma phospholipid transfer protein, designated LTP-II, which displayed the following characteristics: i) facilitated both the exchange and net mass transfer of lipoprotein phospholipids; ii ...

Specificity of lipid transfer protein for molecular species of cholesteryl ester.
The capacity of the plasma-derived lipid transfer protein to facilitate the transfer of various cholesteryl ester species has been investigated. Four different molecular species of cholesteryl ester were incorporated into either reconstituted high ...

Inhibition of pancreatic cholesterol esterase reduces cholesterol absorption in the hamster [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cholesterol esterase has three proposed functions in the intestine: 1) to control the bioavailability of cholesterol from dietary cholesterol esters; 2) to contribute to incorporation of cholesterol into mixed micelles; and 3) to ...

Normal human plasma HDL was applied to a column of heparin-Sepharose in the presence of MnCl(2) and three fractions were obtained by stepwise elution with increasing NaCl concentrations: a non-retained fraction (NR, 78% of protein) and two retained ...
