- _4 value "Recent data indicate that PLTP deficiency in mice is associated with a decrease of atherosclerosis, despite decreased HDL levels. At lease two underlined mechanisms are involved in the reduction of atherosclerosis in PLTP deficient status, 1) reduction of apoB-containing lipoprotein production and levels; and 2) increase of anti-oxidation potential. Human studies indicated that PLTP activity positively correlated with aging, obesity, diabetes and coronary artery disease. A challenge for the future will be the inhibition of PLTP for therapeutic benefit." provenance.
