Elevation of plasma phospholipid transfer protein in transgenic mice increases VLDL secretion

Two lipid transfer proteins are active in human plasma, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP). Mice by nature do not express CETP. Additional inactivation of the PLTP gene resulted in reduced secretion of VLDL and subsequently in decreased susceptibility...
