The APOE ε2 allele is associated with risk of neovascular age-related macular degeneration in a Russian cohort [PDF]
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive disease that leads to blindness and is the cause of visual impairment in an aging population. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is one of the key proteins in lipoprotein metabolism.

The associations of PON1 and APOE polymorphisms with plasma lipid levels and the risk for late complications in type 2 diabetes patients [PDF]
Background: Besides good glycemic control, also control of lipid levels can effectively prevent or delay late type 2 diabetes (T2D) complications. As apolipoprotein E (APOE) and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) were shown to suppress atherosclerosis, we investigated

Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia: highly atherogenic and underdiagnosed disorder
Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD) is a genetic, highly atherogenic disorder. The penetrance of FD depends on the patient’s lifestyle and concomitant diseases. Despite the fact that FD was described almost half a century ago, it is still insufficiently

Effects of prolactin on movement disorders and APOE, GFAP, and PRL receptor gene expression following intracerebral hemorrhage in rats [PDF]
Objective(s): Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) occurs mostly in the striatum. In ICH, blood prolactin level increases 3-fold. The effects of intracerebroventricular injection (ICV) of prolactin on motor disorders will be investigated. Materials and Methods:

The Suggestive Effect of Apo A, Apo B, and Apo A/Apo B on Erectile Dysfunction [PDF]
ABSTRACTBackgroundErectile dysfunction (ED) is closely related to coronary heart disease (CHD). Apolipoprotein (Apo) A1, Apo B, and Apo A/Apo B are known to be predictive factors for CHD. They are not yet a definite laboratory marker for the diagnosis of ED in cardiology. Therefore, we investigated the association between Apo A1, Apo B, and Apo A/Apo B,

APOE4 dysregulates autophagy in cultured cells
Human APOE4 (apolipoprotein E4 isoform) is a powerful genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD). Many groups have investigated the effect of APOE4 on the degradation of amyloid β (Aβ), the main component of plaques found in the brains of ...
