Abstract

For more than three decades, lipid-lowering therapeutic modalities have focused on lowering LDL-cholesterol levels, as is the case in statin therapy. However, the focus of research in this area is currently shifting to enhancement of HDL-level both in quantity and quality. Two approaches are currently being exploited in HDL-oriented therapy for regression to reduce atherosclerotic plaque size via stimulating cholesterol efflux. One of these involves the use of synthetic HDL with recombinant apoA-I and its mutants, and the other employs the apolipoprotein-mimetic peptide, such as D4F.
