摘要

The advent of transgenic technology, in which foreign genes are stably introduced into the mammalian germ line, has dramatically enhanced our basic understanding of many physiological and pathologic processes. Transgenic technology has allowed the rapid elucidation of many fundamental principles of the tissue-specific expression of certain genes and is also particularly valuable in studies of human diseases, such as hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis[1]. Most studies of lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis are currently conducted with transgenic mice because mice are small, easily-handled and easy to breed [1]. However, these animals have a major drawback in that the lipoprotein profile of mice (HDL-rich) is different from that of humans. For example, mice lack cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and have HL that circulates in the plasma[2].
