Fig. 1.

Plasma CETP activity in subjects with homozygous (n = 2) and heterozygous (n = 6) apoA-I deficiency and control subjects. [³H]CE-labeled HDL was incubated with unlabeled plasma for 3 h, and CETP activity was determined as radioactivity recovered in plasma. The number denotes % increase in CETP activity in apoA-I-deficient subjects versus control group; *** P < 0.001, ** P < 0.01 versus controls. Data obtained in two homozygotes are shown as means, and the range of individual values is represented as min–max.
