Cholesteryl ester transfer protein expression is down-regulated in hyperinsulinemic transgenic mice

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates cholesteryl ester (CE) and triglyceride redistribution among plasma lipoproteins. In this work, we investigated whether varying levels of insulin regulate the CETP expression in vivo. Insulin deficiency [streptozotocin (STZ) injection], and hyperins...
