Transfer of Cholesteryl ester

Cholesteryl ester is transported from high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) with cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). [1] The decrease in cholesteryl ester can lower HDL and increase LDL, which may be an indicator of cardiovascular problems, as indicated by intervention studies.[1] Increasing HDL values has the potential to prevent mortality associated with cardiovascular risks such as atherosclerosis.[2]
