TL;DR: In a prospective investigation of a community-based sample, lower plasma CETP activity was associated with greater CVD risk, challenging the concept that CETP inhibition may lower CVDrisk.

TL;DR: CVD status has no apparent influence on the association of supplemental vitamin E intake and risk for CVD and ACM in this large, community-based study.

TL;DR: Clinical trials using cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors to raise high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations reported an ‘off-target’ blood pressure (BP) raising effect, suggesting that inhibition of intrinsic CETP activity itself is likely associated with minimal changes in BP.

TL;DR: The authors thank Dr Quintao for correctly noting that the recent prospective analysis from the group using Framingham Offspring Study data indicated an inverse association of schizophrenia with age and race.
