Cuban Sugar Cane Wax Acid and Policosanol Showed Similar Atheroprotective Effects with Inhibition of LDL Oxidation and Cholesteryl Ester Transfer via Enhancement of High-Density Lipoproteins Functionality

<div>CETP inhibition activity of policosanol (PCO) or sugar cane wax acid (SCWA) in ethanol and rHDL. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments performed in duplicate. CE transfer from [<sup>3</sup>H]-HDL (50 <i>μ</i>g of apoA-I, 30,000 CPM) to human LDL (50 <i>μ</i>g of protein) by human HDL<sub>3</sub> (25 <i>μ</i>g of protein) was inhibited by rHDL containing policosanol. TBS, tris-buffered saline.</div>
