title: 7 detecting cholesteryl ester transfer protein in plasma.
abstract: Transport of triglycerides (TGs) and cholesteryl esters (CEs) in plasma can be viewed as taking place via two major groups of lipoproteins, the TG-rich lipoproteins (chylomicrons and VLDL), on one hand, and the cholesterol-rich lipoproteins (LDL and HDL), on the other. The metabolism of these groups is linked by exchange processes, catalyzed mainly by a plasma glycoprotein referred to as lipid transfer protein I (LTP-I) (1) or cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) (2-5).
