Disruption of PLTP (phospholipid transfer protein)-mediated HDL (high-density lipoprotein) maturation reduces SR-BI (scavenger receptor BI) deficiency-driven atherosclerosis susceptibility despite unexpected metabolic complications

Abstract

C]cholesteryl oleate after intravenous VLDL-like particle injection.

We have shown that disruption of PLTP-mediated HDL maturation reduces SR-BI deficiency-driven atherosclerosis susceptibility in mice despite the induction of proatherogenic metabolic complications in the double knockout mice.
