Phospholipid and cholesteryl ester transfer activities in plasma from 14 vertebrate species. Relation to atherogenesis susceptibility
V Guyard-Dangremont, C Desrumaux… - … and Physiology Part B …, 1998 - Elsevier
Cholesteryl ester and phospholipid transfer activities were determined in plasmas from 14
vertebrates, and lipid transfer values were analyzed in the light of the known atherogenesis
susceptibility of studied species. Whereas cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and
phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activities among vertebrate species were only
measured in lipoprotein-deficient fractions in previous studies, both endogenous lipoprotein-
dependent and endogenous lipoprotein-independent assays were used in the present work …
