Abstract
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) transfers cholesteryl esters from HDL to LDL and high CETP activity results in an atherogenic lipid phenotype. Thus, inhibiting CETP is a target for dyslipidemia treatment. However, the true origin of CETP in humans is uncertain. We aimed to elucidate the cellular origin of CETP and the relative contribution of adipose tissue and liver to plasma CETP levels.
