Fenofibrate increases HDL-cholesterol by reducing cholesteryl ester transfer protein expression

Fenofibrate increases HDL-cholesterol by reducing cholesteryl ester transfer protein expression

In addition to efficiently decreasing VLDL-triglycerides (TGs), fenofibrate increases HDL-cholesterol levels in humans. We investigated whether the fenofibrate-induced increase in HDL-cholesterol is dependent on the expression of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). To this end, APOE*3-Lei...
