A reduction of CETP activity, not an increase, is associated with modestly impaired postprandial lipemia and increased HDL-Cholesterol in adult asymptomatic women

Table 4 Plasma CETP activities of CETP TaqIB and I405V polymorphisms in the studied groups

Genotypes		CETPd (n = 8) (% transfer)	CETPi (n = 6) (% transfer)	CTL (n = 14) (% transfer)
CETP TaqIB	B1B1	2.4 ± 1.1 (3)	26.6 ± 0.9 (2)	15.4 ± 0.0 (1)
	(B1B2+B2B2)	3.3 ± 1.3 (4) ^a	26.4 ± 3.2 (2) ^b	16.0 ± 5.2 (11) ^c
CETP I405V	II	3.5 ± 0.7 (3)	-	11.8 ± 5.1 (2)
	(IV+VV)	2.4 ± 1.5 (4) ^d	26.5 ± 1.8 (4) ^e	16.7 ± 4.7(10) ^f

Data as mean ± SD (n). - = no II in CETPi. CETP activity; p values by Mann-Whitney with ANCOVA corrections for age: Absence of B2 allele: a vs b p ≤ 0.087; Presence of B2 allele: a vs b p ≤ 0.050, b vs c p ≤ 0.027, a vs c p ≤ 0.005. Presence of V allele: d vs e p ≤ 0.025; d vs f p ≤ 0.002; e vs f p ≤ 0.008. Significant differences are shown in bold.
