NEW METHOD

摘要

The invention provides methods of screening test compounds for their ability to reduce retention of atherogenic lipoproteins in atherogenesis by measuring their activity as a modulator of the binding affinity of CEL (Carboxyl Ester Lipase) to various receptors. The invention further provides methods for the use of active modulators of the binding affinity of CEL to receptors for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.
