Abstract excerpt
Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) is a plasma glycoprotein that intervenes the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) by equimolar exchange of Cholesteryl esters (CE) and Triglycerides (TGs) between anti-atherogenic High-Density Lipoproteins (HDLs) and pro-atherogenic Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDLs) resulting in the increased concentration of CEs in LDL. This is a potential cause for the formation of...
