High plasma concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are a powerful indicator of low vascular risk. By decreasing HDL cholesterol, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) could perhaps constitute an atherogenic protein. We measured HDL cholesterol and HDL subfractions and quant
The effect of a polymorphism, guanine (G) to adenine (A) substitution in the promoter of apolipoprotein A-I gene at a position 78 bp upstream of the transcription initiation site, on the serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol level was studied in 168 Japanese subjects with HDL-cholesterol
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
We determined TaqI-A, TaqI-B and EcoNI genotypes at the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) locus in 111 healthy volunteers and in 187 hyperlipidemic men of whom 72 had suffered a myocardial infarction. There were no significant differences in the allele distributions at these polymorphic loci
