Red pepper attenuates cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity and atherosclerosis in cholesterol-fed rabbits

Background: The current study was conducted to examine the effect of red pepper supplementation on cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity, along with its anti-atherosclerotic effect in cholesterol-fed rabbits. Methods: Rabbits were fed a 1% cholesterol diet for 12 weeks, including a 1% r...

Zusammenfassung:	Background: The current study was conducted to examine the effect of red pepper supplementation on cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity, along with its anti-atherosclerotic effect in cholesterol-fed rabbits. Methods: Rabbits were fed a 1% cholesterol diet for 12 weeks, including a 1% red pepper powder supplement. Results: The red pepper supplemented group exhibited significantly lower CETP activity than the control group during the experimental period ( P
