CETP and endothelial dysfunction: Moreover, accelerated development of endothelial dysfunction in E3L.CETP male mice in comparison to E3L.CETP female mice, detected in vivo, was reflected by a higher number of DEPs (also presented in STRING-based analysis) in comparison between 8-week-old E3L.CETP and C57BL/6J male mice as compared with female mice (122 vs 21, respectively).
