One such type of drug is called a CETP inhibitor, intended to reduce "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL).

胆固醇酯转运蛋白抑制剂就是一种这一类型的药，它可以减少“坏”的胆固醇(低密度脂蛋白)，同时增加“好”的胆固醇(高密度脂蛋白)。

Blood samples showed that the CETP gene, already known to treble-the odds of living to 100, also cut the odds of dementia by 70 per cent.

血液采样显示，除了人们已知可以将活到百岁的几率提高两倍以外，CETP基因还能把痴呆症的病发几率减少70%。
