Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Influences High-Density Lipoprotein Levels and Survival in Sepsis
15 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) levels decline during sepsis, and lower levels are associated with worse survival. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying changes in HDL-C during sepsis, and whether the relationship with survival is causative, are largely unknown. OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that variation in genes involved in HDL metabolism would contribute to changes in HDL-C...
