1 Probucol increases cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity in hypercholesterolaemic patients. Probucol cholesteryl ester transfer protein Homo sapiens
2 Probucol administration to 10 hypercholesterolaemic patients increased the activity of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) by 50%. Probucol cholesteryl ester transfer protein Homo sapiens
3 Probucol administration to 10 hypercholesterolaemic patients increased the activity of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) by 50%. Probucol cholesteryl ester transfer protein Homo sapiens
4 The rise of CETP activity was significantly related with the plasma steady-state drug levels (r = 0.51, P less than 0.005), thus suggesting that probucol may directly stimulate CEPT synthesis and/or release. Probucol cholesteryl ester transfer protein Homo sapiens
5 The rise of CETP activity was significantly related with the plasma steady-state drug levels (r = 0.51, P less than 0.005), thus suggesting that probucol may directly stimulate CEPT synthesis and/or release. cept cholesteryl ester transfer protein Homo sapiens
6 Furthermore, CETP activity was inversely related with HDL-cholesterol levels, both in the whole series of 10 patients (r = -0.56, P less than 0.001) and, more so, in the single individuals (r between -0.77 and -0.97), thus suggesting that the reduction of plasma HDL-cholesterol levels is a direct consequence of CETP stimulation.
