Message definition (Dyslipidemia)
=== Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein inhibitors ===
[[CETP inhibitor|Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) inhibitors]] include the agents torcetrapib, anacetrapib and obicetrapib. They block transfer of cholesterol from "good" HDL particles to "bad" LDL particles thereby causing an increase in the HDL:LDL ratio. Despite eliciting favorable changes in blood lipids, most CETP inhibitors (with the exception of anacetrapib) do not achieve significant reductions in cardiovascular events.
