Why the study?
Does the combination of LPL and CETP enhance the transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL to VLDL compared to CETP alone?
Population
Human or rat VLDL incubated with human HDL
Comparison
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein plus bovine… vs CETP alone or LPL alone

Hypothesis-generating for LPL-CETP synergy in lipoprotein remodeling; human studies required before any clinical relevance.
Does the combination of LPL and CETP enhance the transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL to VLDL compared to CETP alone?
Lipoprotein lipase synergistically enhances CETP-mediated transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL to VLDL, a process dependent on active triglyceride hydrolysis.
Tall et al. (1984) studied this question.
