Probing the Structure–Function relationship and amyloidogenic propensities in natural variants of apolipoprotein A-I

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2020
Background: Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) protects against atherosclerosis and participates in the removal of excess cellular cholesterol from peripheral organs. Several naturally occurring apoA-I mutations are associated with familial systemic amyloidosis,

A proteomic study of the apolipoproteins in LDL subclasses in patients with the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
The exchangeable apolipoproteins present in small, dense LDL (sdLDL) and large, buoyant LDL subclasses were evaluated with a quantitative proteomic approach in patients with the metabolic syndrome and with type 2 diabetes, both with subclinical ...

Apolipoprotein A‐I: the dual face of a protein [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2016
Conformational plasticity and flexibility are key structural features of ApoAI in lipid metabolism. Amyloidogenic single point mutations, associated with incurable familial amyloidosis with fibril deposition in peripheral organs, may have a dramatic impact on the structural and functional features of ApoAI.

Serum apolipoproteins in relation to intakes of fish in population of Arkhangelsk County

open access: yesNutrition & Metabolism, 2012
Background Diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in saturated fat were found beneficially associated with blood lipids and cardio-vascular health. Lean reindeer meet and local cold water white-fish species high in omega-3 are among the main sources ...

Importance of Apolipoprotein A-I in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
Jean-Martin Charcot has first described multiple sclerosis (MS) as a disease of the central nervous system (CNS) over a century ago. MS remains incurable today, and treatment options are limited to disease modifying drugs. Over the years, significant advances in understanding disease pathology have been made in autoimmune and neurodegenerative ...

ApoA-I cleaved by transthyretin has reduced ability to promote cholesterol efflux and increased amyloidogenicity

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2007
A fraction of plasma transthyretin (TTR) circulates in HDL through binding to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I). Moreover, TTR is able to cleave the C terminus of lipid-free apoA-I.

Apolipoprotein A-I Deficiency [PDF]

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 1995
Abstract Familial HDL deficiencies are associated with variable susceptibility to premature coronary heart disease, but the mechanism underlying this association remains poorly understood. Three homozygotes with isolated complete apo A-I deficiency caused by an autosomal codominant apo A-I Q[−2]X mutation and one heterozygote ...

Evaluation of Lipid Profile, Apo B/ Apo A Ratio and Lpa and its Relationship with Cognitive Disorders in the Older Adults: Birjand Longitudinal Aging Study

open access: yesArchives of Advances in Biosciences, 2023
Introduction: Accurate and timely diagnosis of mild cognitive disorders is essential to prevent their progression to dementia. This study aimed to determine the relationship among the serum levels of lipid markers of cognitive disorders in older adults ...

The age-related paraoxonase 1 response is altered by long-term caloric restriction in male and female rats

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
Caloric restriction (CR) has been shown to attenuate age-related oxidative damage and to improve major atherosclerotic risk factors. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1), an enzyme specifically associated with HDL containing apolipoproteins A-I and J, has been reported ...

Effect of urotensin II on apolipoprotein B 100 and apolipoprotein A-I expression in HepG2 cell line

open access: yesAdvanced Biomedical Research, 2014
Background: Increased apolipoprotein B100 (apo B) and decreased apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) production are important risk factors in atherosclerosis.
