Relationship of HDL and coronary heart disease to a common amino acid polymorphism in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein in men with and without hypertriglyceridemia
Plasma triglyceride (TG) levels are inversely related to HDL-cholesterol levels and subjects with high TG and low HDL cholesterol have increased coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) transfers cholesteryl esters from HDL to TG-rich lipoproteins. In this...
