Volumetric determination of apolipoprotein stoichiometry of circulating HDL subspecies1[S]
Although HDL is inversely correlated with coronary heart disease, elevated HDL-cholesterol is not always protective. Additionally, HDL has biological functions that transcend any antiatherogenic role: shotgun proteomics show that HDL particles contain 84

Images in cardiovascular medicine : multiphoton microscopy for three-dimensional imaging of lymphocyte recruitment into apolipoprotein-E-deficient mouse carotid artery [PDF]
Two recent elegant studies have shown that in apolipoprotein-E– deficient mice, the lamina adventitia is a major site of arterial wall inflammation associated with lymphocyte infiltration into atherosclerotic arteries and with formation of adventitial ...

Phospholipids mediated conversion of HDLs generates specific apoA-II pre-β mobility particles
Apolipoproteins (apo)A-I and A-II are major proteins of human HDL. The cycling of apoA-I between lipid-poor and lipid-rich forms of HDL plays a key role in the transport of cholesterol by these particles.

The secondary structure of apolipoprotein A-I on 9.6-nm reconstituted high-density lipoprotein determined by EPR spectroscopy. [PDF]
Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is the major protein component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and is critical for maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis.

We describe new methods for analyzing the apolipoproteins (apo) of the high density lipoproteins (HDL) of several species by two modes of capillary electrophoresis: size separation using a molecular sieving buffer, and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)

Crossroads between peripheral atherosclerosis, western-type diet and skeletal muscle pathophysiology: emphasis on apolipoprotein E deficiency and peripheral arterial disease [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process that, in the presence of hyperlipidaemia, promotes the formation of atheromatous plaques in large vessels of the cardiovascular system.

Identification of disulfide-linked apolipoprotein species in human lipoproteins
We wished to determine whether apolipoprotein C-IIToronto, a mutant form of apolipoprotein C-II that contains a C-terminal cysteine residue, exists as a monomeric species or as multiple disulfide-linked species in plasma lipoproteins.

Glycomic analysis of high density lipoprotein shows a highly sialylated particle. [PDF]
Many of the functional proteins and lipids in high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are potentially glycosylated, yet very little is known about the glycoconjugates of HDL.

A comparison of two methods to investigate the metabolism of human apolipoproteins A-I and and A-II.
Two methods are compared for measuring the kinetic parameters of apolipoprotein A-I and A-II metabolism in human plasma. In the first, high density lipoprotein apoproteins were radioiodinated in situ in the lipoprotein particle (endogenous apoprotein ...

Apolipoprotein E and Atherosclerosis: From Lipoprotein Metabolism to MicroRNA Control of Inflammation. [PDF]
Apolipoprotein (apo) E stands out among plasma apolipoproteins through its unprecedented ability to protect against atherosclerosis. Although best recognized for its ability to mediate plasma lipoprotein clearance in the liver and protect against ...
