A novel swine model for evaluation of dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis induced by human CETP overexpression
Abstract Background The mechanism of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) in lipid metabolism is still unclear. Furthermore, the relationship of CETP and atherosclerosis (AS) has been controversial. As pigs are a good model for both lipid and AS research, we investigated the lipid metabolism of...
