Abstract excerpt
The human cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) transfers cholesteryl esters from high density lipoproteins to triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, indirectly facilitating cholesteryl esters uptake by the liver. Hepatic CETP gene expression is increased in response to dietary hypercholesterolemia, an effect that is mediated by the activity of liver X receptor/retinoid X receptor (LXR/RXR) on a direct repeat 4...
