Background: Elevated brain cholesterol increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Production of 24-hydroxycholesterol (24s-OHC) by neurons prevents cholesterol accumulation in the brain. In this study, we investigated the effect of 24s-OHC on the HMG-COA

Exosomes containing HIV protein Nef reorganize lipid rafts potentiating inflammatory response in bystander cells. [PDF]
HIV infection has a profound effect on "bystander" cells causing metabolic co-morbidities. This may be mediated by exosomes secreted by HIV-infected cells and containing viral factors.

ATP-binding cassette transporter subfamily A member 1 (ABCA1) is a plasma membrane protein well known for its role in regulating cellular cholesterol efflux and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) formation.1 Carriers of loss-of-function mutations in ABCA1 are characterized by reduced HDL cholesterol levels, which are nearly absent in the rare homozygous ...

Genetic obesity increases pancreatic expression of mitochondrial proteins which regulate cholesterol efflux in BRIN-BD11 insulinoma cells [PDF]
Pancreatic β-cells are sensitive to fluctuations in cholesterol content, which can damage the insulin secretion pathway, contributing to the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates the cellular efflux of phospholipids and cholesterol to lipid-poor apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) and plays a significant role in high density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. ABCA1’s role in the causation of Tangier disease, characterized by absent HDL and premature atherosclerosis, has implicated this ...

ABCA1 is an extracellular phospholipid translocase
AbstractProduction of high density lipoprotein (HDL) requires ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) to drive phospholipid (PL) from the plasma membrane into extracellular apolipoprotein A-I. Here, we use simulations to show that domains of ABCA1 within the plasma membrane remove PL from the membrane’s outer leaflet.

Effect of a novel nutraceutical combination on serum lipoprotein functional profile and circulating PCSK9 [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A beneficial effect on cardiovascular risk may be obtained by improving lipid-related serum lipoprotein functions such as high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and serum cholesterol loading capacity (CLC) and by ...

The ٍeffect of Eight Weeks of Moderate and High Intensity Resistance Training on micro-RNAs Associated with Reverse Cholesterol Transport in Older Wistar rats [PDF]
Purpose: Aging is associated with systemic dysfunctions in lipid metabolism and chronic inflammatory state which contribute to atherosclerotic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate and high intensity resistance training on ...
