Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein in Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]

Obesity, 2006
AbstractObjective: Low high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C), hypertriglyceridemia, and small dense‐low density lipoprotein (LDL) are key components of metabolic syndrome (MS). Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of triglycerides (TGs) from TG‐rich lipoproteins to HDL and LDL particles in exchange for cholesteryl ...

Rationale for cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibition [PDF]

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2012
Raising HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) has become an attractive therapeutic target to lower cardiovascular risk in addition to statins. Inhibition of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), which mediates the transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL to apolipoprotein B-containing particles, leads to a substantial increase in HDL-C levels.

Cholesteryl ester-rich microemulsions: stable protein-free analogs of low density lipoproteins.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1982
A method has been devised for the preparation of stable lipid microemulsions containing cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, phosphatidylcholine, and trioleoylglycerol in the relative molar ratios found in low density lipoproteins.

Apolipoprotein E enhances lipid exchange between lipoproteins mediated by cholesteryl ester transfer protein.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
The direct effect of apolipoprotein (apo) E on cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity was studied using lipoproteins from a subject with apoE deficiency (Atherosclerosis. 1991. 88: 15-20) as a model system.

Accelerated transfer of cholesteryl esters in dyslipidemic plasma. Role of cholesteryl ester transfer protein. [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1987
Plasma cholesteryl esters, synthesized in the high density lipoproteins (HDL), may be transferred to other lipoproteins by a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). We found a twofold increase in mass transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL to apoB-containing lipoproteins in incubated hypercholesterolemic rabbit plasma compared with control.

Cholesteryl ester transfer from phospholipid vesicles to human density lipoproteins.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
The exchange of cholesteryl esters between different lipoproteins was reported to bae mediated by a protein present in human plasma. In this study wer have examined the movement of cholesteryl ester from unilamellar phospholipid vesicles to high density ...

Concerted actions of cholesteryl ester transfer protein and phospholipid transfer protein in type 2 diabetes:effects of apolipoproteins

, 2007
Purpose of review Type 2 diabetes frequently coincides with dyslipidemia, characterized by elevated plasma triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and the presence of small dense low-density lipoprotein particles.

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein genotypes associated with venous thrombosis and dyslipoproteinemia in males [PDF]

, 2006
Although numerous genetic and acquired factors are appreciated as risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) [1,2], only recently have male gender [3,4], dyslipoproteinemia [5], and silent atherosclerotic vascular disease [6] been linked to VTE.

Comparative study of phospholipid transfer activities mediated by cholesteryl ester transfer protein and phospholipid transfer protein.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
In the present study, a sequential procedure was set up to separate simultaneously cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), phospholipid transfer protein (PTP), and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) from human plasma.
