Résumé

Apolipoprotein (apo) C1 is a 6.6 kDa protein associated with HDL and VLDL. ApoC1 alters triglyceride clearance, and it also favors cholesterol accumulation in HDL, especially by inhibiting CETP in human plasma. Apart from studies in mice, which lack CETP, the impact of apoC1 on atherosclerosis in animal models expressing CETP, like in humans, is not known. This study aimed at determining the net effect of human apoC1 on atherosclerosis in rabbits, a species with naturally high CETP activity but with endogenous apoC1 without CETP inhibitory potential.
