Obesity and altered glucose metabolism impact HDL composition in CETP transgenic mice: a role for ovarian hormones

Mechanisms underlying changes in HDL composition caused by obesity are poorly defined, partly because mice lack expression of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), which shuttles triglyceride and cholesteryl ester between lipoproteins. Because menopause is associated with weight gain, altered g...
