CETP (Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein) inhibitors are a class of compounds used to modify lipid metabolism. By blocking CETP, these inhibitors can elevate levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which is often considered "good" cholesterol. This effect can be beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis. CETP inhibitors represent a promising avenue for managing lipid disorders and preventing heart-related conditions.
