researchers are developing new drug to treat type 4 hyperlipoproteinemia.
The drug would be most useful if i t acted in which?
1. inc apoB 100 synthesis

4. inhibit cholesterol ester transfer protein

B increased leptin synthesis. I thought it was a toss up between this and CETP. I picked this one because leptin decrease eating via the satiety center, and also increase use of fat which may help in hyperlipidemia. Not sure though
