28
Q

What does CETP do?

A

facilitates transport of cholesteryl esters and TGs between lipoproteins

29
Q

What are CETP designed to do?

A

raise HDL (thought to be protective)

30
Q

What can reverse transport of cholesterol out of macrophages?

A

CETP: so cholesterol can be metabolized

Q

How does CETP work?

A

collects TGs from VLDL or LDL and exchange for cholesteryl esters from HDL

Q

What CETP inhibitor does not have cardiovascular problems?

A

dalcetrapib

33
Q

A

cysteine rich

macrophages and adipose tissue

38
Q

resistin overall effect

A

increase LDL in human liver cells

degrae LDL receptors in liver

39

A

resistin

40
Q

serum levels of ____ are increased in human obesity and + correlated with ____

A

resistin

atherosclerotic CVD

41

PCSK9 inhibitors in transgenic mice lower ____

A

LDL

49
Q

ODYSSEY long term study

65 weeks

alirocumab reduced risk of major events compared to those with placebo and max tolerated statin

50
Q

ODYSSEY results

A

decrease LDL 61%

79% achieved target LDL <70 after treatment with alirocumab

51
Q

Why were CETP inhibitor trials stopped?
