... biopsies were obtained from 24 healthy lean young men before and after a 5-day HFHC-diet. mRNA expression levels of relevant genes in muscle and glucose, insulin, C-peptide and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) levels in plasma were measured. In addition, we assessed hepatic triacylglycerol...

... 2 /HDL 3 -cholesterol and triacylglycerol (triglyceride) ratios and the activities of the phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) were similar in both groups. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) activities were 35% higher ( P =0.0002) and 40...

... and its relatively modest impact on HDL cholesterol concentrations argue against an important role for this allele, or for strongly linked loci, in determining the low levels of HDL cholesterol seen in the Saudi population. apolipoprotein A cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) genetic...
