Atherosclerosis is enhanced by testosterone deficiency and attenuated by CETP expression in transgenic mice

Atherosclerosis is enhanced by testosterone deficiency and attenuated by CETP expression in transgenic mice

In this work, we investigated the impact of testosterone deficiency and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) expression on lipoprotein metabolism and diet-induced atherosclerosis. CETP transgenic mice and nontransgenic (nTg) littermates were studied 4 weeks after bilateral orchidectomy or sham...
