Apolipoprotein A-I modulates HDL particle size in the absence of apolipoprotein A-II [PDF]
Human high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are a complex mixture of structurally related nanoparticles that perform distinct physiological functions. We previously showed that human HDL containing apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) but not apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2), designated LpA-I, is composed primarily of two discretely sized populations.

Apolipoprotein A-I Supports MSCs Survival under Stress Conditions
Clinical trials have shown the safety of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) transplantation, but the effectiveness of these treatments is limited. Since, transplanted MSCs will undergo metabolic disturbances in the bloodstream, we investigated the ...

Hypertriglyceridemia is associated with several metabolic diseases. The triglycerides (TG) disrupt the cholesterol reverse transport and contribute to increased levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL).

Apolipoprotein A-I Mimetic Peptides [PDF]
Despite identical amino acid composition, differences in class A amphipathic helical peptides caused by differences in the order of amino acids on the hydrophobic face results in substantial differences in antiinflammatory properties. One of these peptides is an apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) mimetic, D-4F.

An Apolipoprotein A-I Mimetic Works Best in the Presence of Apolipoprotein A-I [PDF]
See related article, pages 1190–1197 Ou et al1 report that an apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) mimetic peptide, D-4F, reduced wall thickness and improved vasoreactivity in the fascialis artery (internal diameter 180 to 240 μm) in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor–null mice on a Western diet.

Transport of apolipoproteins A-I and A-II by human thoracic duct lymph [PDF]
The daily transport of human plasma apolipoproteins A-I and A-II, triglyceride, and total cholesterol from the thoracic duct lymph into plasma was measured in 2 subjects before and 3 subjects after renal transplantation. Lymph triglyceride transport was ~

Apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptides [PDF]
Recent publications reveal the mechanism of action of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) mimetic peptides to be the remarkable binding affinity that oxidized lipids have for these peptides compared with apoA-I. There was no difference in the binding affinity of oxidized lipids or in peptide efficacy in reducing inflammation and atherosclerosis in rabbits ...

Binding of apolipoprotein A-I and acetaldehyde-modified apolipoprotein A-I to liver extracellular matrix [PDF]
Apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I), a protein produced mainly by hepatocytes, is decreased in the sera of alcoholic patients with liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. To explain this decrease, we investigated possible interactions between liver extracellular matrix (ECM) and Apo A-I.

Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), Immunity, Inflammation and Cancer
Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), the major protein component of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) is a multifunctional protein, involved in cholesterol traffic and inflammatory and immune response regulation. Many studies revealing alterations of ApoA-I during
