Cholesteryl ester transfer protein modulates the effect of liver X receptor agonists on cholesterol transport and excretion in the mouse

Human plasma, unlike mouse plasma, contains the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) that may influence the reverse cholesterol transport. Liver X receptor (LXR), an oxysterol-activated nuclear receptor induces CETP transcription via a direct repeat 4 element in the CETP gene promoter. The aim...
