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 ...

Folding of the apolipoprotein A1 driven by the salt concentration as a possible mechanism to improve cholesterol trapping [PDF]
The folding of the cholesterol trapping apolipoprotein A1 in aqueous solution at increasing ionic strength is studied using atomically detailed molecular dynamics simulations. We calculate various structural properties to characterize the conformation of the protein, such as the radius of gyration, the radial distribution function and the end to end ...

The Carboxyl-Terminal Segment of Apolipoprotein A-V Undergoes a Lipid-Induced Conformational Change [PDF]
Apolipoprotein (apo) A-V is a 343-residue, multidomain protein that plays an important role in regulation of plasma triglyceride homeostasis. Primary sequence analysis revealed a unique tetraproline sequence (Pro293-Pro296) near the carboxyl terminus of ...

Elevated lactate in diabetes activates the GPR132‐Src pathway in macrophages, inducing macrophage senescence and further enhancing foam cell formation. This mechanism exacerbates atherosclerotic progression. Abstract Diabetes is widely acknowledged as a significant risk factor for atherosclerosis, facilitating plaque formation through various ...

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.

Observation of Cholesterol Dissolved in Microscopic Deposits of Free Fatty Acids in the Lumen of an Aorta of a Mouse Model for Human Atherosclerosis [PDF]
The Raman spectrum of microscopic droplets of lipid material on the lumen of the aorta of an apolipoprotein E knock-out mouse were reported in the proceedings of an SPIE conference. Based on the absence of the carbonyl band in the spectrum, at that time it was determined that the spectrum represents free fatty acids rather than triglycerides.
