Serum phospholipid transfer protein activity and genetic variation of the PLTP gene.

Atherosclerosis - 1 Sept 1999

Tahvanainen E, Jauhiainen M, Funke H, Vartiainen E, Sundvall J, Ehnholm C

Abstract excerpt

The inverse relationship between serum levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL) and risk of coronary heart disease is well established. The phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) promotes the transfer of phospholipids between lipoproteins and modulates HDL size and composition. It thus plays a central role in HDL metabolism. Serum PLTP activity was measured in 400 healthy Finnish individuals in order to determine...
