Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To detect cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) levels, frequencies of CETP D442G and I 14A mutations and characteristics of abnormal lipids in patients with cardio-cerebro vascular diseases. METHODS: Ninety-four myocardial infarction (MI) patients, 110 stroke patients and 335 healthy controls were selected. The CETP concentration was determined using ELISA. The CETP activity was measured using a...
