Abstract

Plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of cholesteryl ester (CE) from high density lipoprotein (HDL) to apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins. It plays a critical role in reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). Genetic CETP deficiency is the main cause of HALP. Mass research results demonstrate that Genetic CETP deficiency is relative to atherosclerosis. The current review focused on the relationship between cholesteryl ester transfer protein and atherosclerosis.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
