Figure 1From: Ciprofibrate increases cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene expression and the indirect reverse cholesterol transport to the liverCiprofibrate increases CETP plasma levels and liver mRNA. Plasma CETP levels was measured as cholesteryl ester (CE) transfer rates from exogenous labeled HDL to V+LDL acceptors (A). Panel B shows the relative hepatic CETP mRNA levels. Dark and open bars correspond to ciprofibrate treated and control CETP expressing mice, respectively. Mean ± SE, n = 7-10. Student t test: *P < 0.05; **p < 0.005.Back to article page
