The Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) raises Cholesterol Levels in the Brain and affects Presenilin-mediated Gene Regulation

2020-11-24

Abstract excerpt

The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a lipid transfer protein responsible for the exchange of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between lipoproteins. Decreased CETP activity is associated with longevity, cardiovascular health, and maintenance of good cognitive performance. Interestingly, mice lack the CETP-encoding gene and have very low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles compared to...
