Infection and sepsis

What CETP does during bacterial infection, and whether inhibiting it helps. A secondary thread with more evidence behind it than most readers expect: Mendelian randomisation finds genetically proxied CETP inhibition protects against sepsis, anacetrapib improves survival in pneumococcal sepsis in mice, and endotoxin has been known since the 1990s to suppress CETP. Not all of it agrees, which is why the thread is worth reading whole.
