摘要：This study was designed to establish the mechanism responsible for the increased apolipoprotein (apo) A-II levels caused by the cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitor torcetrapib. Nineteen subjects with low HDL cholesterol ( 2H3] l -leucine to determine the kinetics of HDL apoA-II. Relative to placebo, torcetrapib significantly increased apoA-II concentrations by reducing HDL apoA-II catabolism in the atorvastatin (−9.4%, P P = 0.02) and twice- (−13.2%, P = 0.02) daily cohorts. Torcetrapib significantly increased the amount of apoA-II in the α-2-migrating subpopulation of HDL when given as monotherapy (27%, P P P P = 0.23), −18% ( P P
