Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), an important protein in the transfer of phospholipids between lipoprotein particles and in the remodeling of HDL, is regulated at both the transcriptional and the protein level. We performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis to identify genomic loci regulating PLTP activity in mice. METHODS AND RESULTS: Plasma PLTP activity was measured in 217 male F2 progeny...
