Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of neutral lipids between lipoproteins. The role of CETP in atherogenesis is controversial. To better understand the relationships between plasma CETP levels, lipoproteins and atherosclerosis, we assessed these parameters in patients with an enhanced risk for atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: We investigated 281 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in...
