BACKGROUND: Either a decrease of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) or an increase of angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) in plasma has been shown to increase HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. However, as yet, it is not known which protein is more strongly associated with the modulation of HDL in the Japanese hyperalphalipoproteinemic (HALT) subjects.
