The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) raises cholesterol levels in the brain
The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a lipid transfer protein responsible for the exchange of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between lipoproteins.Decreased CETP activity is associated with longevity, cardiovascular health, and maintenance of good cognitive performance.Interestingly, mice lack the CETP-encoding gene and have very l
