Efforts to elucidate the role of lipoprotein [a] (Lp[a]) in atherogenesis have been hampered by the lack of an animal model with high plasma Lp[a] levels.

NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma: The growing challenge
Risk and protective factors for NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer‐related mortality and morbidity worldwide. With the obesity pandemic, NAFLD‐related HCC is contributing to the burden of disease exponentially.

Endogenous cholesterol synthesis is associated with VLDL-2 apoB-100 production in healthy humans
Subjects with high plasma cholesterol levels exhibit a high production of VLDL apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100), suggesting that cholesterol is a mediator for VLDL production.

Genetic variants in Apolipoprotein AV alter triglyceride concentrations in pregnancy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Triglyceride concentrations are raised in pregnancy and are considered a key fetal fuel. Several gene variants are known to alter triglyceride concentrations, including those in the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL), and most ...

Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

Recent studies have examined the role of the LDL receptor (LDLR) in regulating murine hepatic lipoprotein production and apolipoprotein B (apoB) secretion, with divergent conclusions from in vivo versus in vitro approaches.

It is often claimed that genes affecting health in old age, such as cardiovascular and Alzheimer diseases, are beyond the reach of natural selection. We show in a simulation study based on known genetic (apolipoprotein E) and non-genetic risk factors ...

The role of SMLR1 in lipid metabolism (high fat + cholesterol diet in mice) Abstract Background and Aims The assembly and secretion of VLDL from the liver, a pathway that affects hepatic and plasma lipids, remains incompletely understood. We set out to identify players in the VLDL biogenesis pathway by identifying genes that are co‐expressed with the ...

Torpor: The Rise and Fall of 3-Monoiodothyronamine from Brain to Gut—From Gut to Brain?
3-Monoiodothyronamine (T1AM), first isolated from rat brain, is reported to be an endogenous, rapidly acting metabolite of thyroxine. One of its numerous effects is the induction of a “torpor-like” state in experimental animals.

Normotriglyceridemic abetalipoproteinemia. absence of the B-100 apolipoprotein. [PDF]
In the two genetic forms of abetalipoproteinemia described previously, recessive abetalipoproteinemia and homozygous hypobetalipoproteinemia, all lipoproteins that normally contain apolipoprotein B are absent from plasma. We describe here a new disorder in which normal low density and very low density lipoproteins are absent, but in which triglycerides
