β¦ Synopsis
Therapeutic strategies to increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to treat or prevent vascular disease include the use of cholesteryl-ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors. Here, we show, to the best of our knowledge for the first time, that addition of CETP to HDL enhances the ability of HDL to inhibit low-density lipoprotein oxidation by βΌ 30% for total HDL and HDL(2) (both P < 0.05) and 75% for HDL(3) (P < 0.01). Therefore, CETP inhibition may be detrimental to the antiatherosclerotic properties of HDL, and these findings may partly explain the failure of the CETP inhibitor, torcetrapib, treatment to retard vascular disease despite large increases in HDL, in addition to its "off target" toxicity, a property which appears not to be shared by other members of this class of CETP inhibitor currently under clinical trial. Further, detailed studies are urgently required.

The objectives of this study were to determine if lipid transfer protein I (LTP I)-facilitated phospholipid (PC) transfer activity regulates the plasma lipoprotein distribution of cyclosporine (CSA) and if the association of CSA with high-density lipoproteins (HDL) is due to the high protein and/or

The ability of these metabolites to scavenge an organic radical was measured by the trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TE
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is known as a protective factor against atherosclerosis. However, whether HDL-apolipoproteins (apo-HDL) contribute to the protection in arterial cells remains unclear. The localization patterns of human apolipoproteins in atherosclerotic arteries were determined using
Serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are often increased in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. To elucidate the mechanism of the elevation of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in this disease, lipoprotein abnormalities were analyzed in 10 patients subdivided into two
