Abstract
Background: Human plasma contains two lipid transfer proteins, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), which are crucial in reverse cholesterol transport. Methods: Plasma CETP and PLTP activity levels and concentrations in 16 type 2 diabetic patients and 16 matched healthy subjects were determined, and these data were correlated to clinical variables, including insulin sensitivity and lipid levels. Results: Plasma triglycerides were higher (p1c (p1c. Conclusions: Neither CETP nor PLTP activity was independently associated with insulin sensitivity. Specific CETP activity is decreased in type 2 diabetes mellitus. In contrast, specific PLTP activity is higher in diabetes, as a result of the association of plasma PLTP activity with plasma triglycerides and obesity. Measurement of both plasma lipid transfer protein activity and mass levels may thus provide extra information in diabetes mellitus.Keywords
