Abstract
The reported relationships between cholesteryl ester transfer protein, high density lipoproteins and arterial disease are confusing and conflicting. S everal papers published during the review period add substantially to the e vidence base regarding the atherogenicity (or anti-atherogenicity) of chole steryl ester transfer protein, although none clearly resolves the continuin g conflict. These new papers are presented against the backdrop of the prev ious state of knowledge. Curr Coin Lipidol 12:377-382., (C) 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
