Incretin drugs as modulators of atherosclerosis.

abstract：:In general, plasma concentrations of high density lipoproteins (HDL) are inversely related to the incidence of coronary artery disease. One exception to this trend is individuals with apolipoprotein A-I(Milano) (apo A-IM), a molecular variant of apo A-I, which results in very low plasma apo A-I and HDL-cholesterol lev...
