Angiopoietin-like protein 4 and cardiovascular function in COPD [PDF]
Introduction The coexistence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is frequent and might be inter-related through inflammation-related processes reflected by specific markers.

Proteolysis of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) by calpain [PDF]
Calpains are non-lysosomal, Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases, which are ubiquitously distributed across cell types and vertebrate species. The rules that govern calpain specificity have not yet been determined.

Angiopoietin-like 3 inhibition of endothelial lipase is not modulated by angiopoietin-like 8
High plasma triglyceride (TG) levels and low HDL-C levels are risk factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Both plasma TG and HDL-C levels are regulated in part by the circulating inhibitor, angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3). ANGPTL3 inhibits

Regulation of the angiopoietin-like protein 3 gene by LXR [PDF]
Angiopoietins are members of the vascular endothelial growth factor family. One family member, angiopoietin-like protein 3 (Angptl3), was recently shown to be predominantly expressed in the liver and to play an important role in regulating lipid metabolism.

ANGPTL7 regulates the expansion and repopulation of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells
Successful expansion of hematopoietic stem cells would benefit the use of hematopoietic stem cell transplants in the clinic. Several angiopoietin-like proteins, including angiopoietin-like 7, can support the activity of hematopoietic stem cells. However,

Quantitation of serum angiopoietin-like proteins 3 and 4 in a Finnish population sample
We have developed and validated quantitative ELISAs for human angiopoietin-like (ANGPTL)3 and 4 and correlated their serum levels with parameters of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.

Angiopoietin-like protein 8 accelerates atherosclerosis in ApoE−/− mice [PDF]
Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) is a hormone involved in regulating lipid metabolism. Patients with coronary artery disease have markedly higher plasma levels of ANGPTL8 than controls; however, the role of ANGPTL8 in atherosclerosis has not been explored.

Angiopoietin-like proteins - their role in lipoprotein metabolism and association with atherogenic dyslipidemia [PDF]
Scientists have been trying to find the best parameter for laboratory assessment of the risk of cardiovasculardiseases (CVD) for decades. Initially, the results of many studies indicated that the analysisof the lipid profile was sufficient to evaluate ...
