A Prospective Study of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Gene Variants, and Healthy Aging in Very Old Japanese-American Men

1 Nov 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene deficiency mutations that increase HDL-C levels have been associated with exceptional longevity. However, a recent clinical trial of a promising CETP inhibitor that markedly increases HDL-C was terminated due to increased mortality. In light of this controversy, we examined the relationship among HDL-C,...
