Oxidized low-density lipoproteins and their antibodies: Relationships with the reverse cholesterol transport and carotid atherosclerosis in adults without cardiovascular diseases

► Subjects with high oxLDL Ab have reduced hepatic lipase activity. ► Subjects with high oxLDL have reduced CETP activity and higher cIMT. ► oxLDL Ab and oxLDL are independently correlated to cIMT. ► Apolipoprotein AI is a significant predictor of oxLDL Ab. ► oxLDL is regulated by apoB100, PLTP and inversely by CETP.
