ApoE-containing high density lipoproteins and phospholipid transfer protein activity increase in patients with a systemic inflammatory response

High density lipoproteins (HDL) mediate reverse cholesterol transport as well as the clearance of oxidation products or inflammatory mediators, thereby contributing to tissue integrity. The decrease in HDL in inflammation has been attributed to decreased lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity...
