Apolipoprotein B-100 deficiency. Intestinal steatosis despite apolipoprotein B-48 synthesis. [PDF]
We describe a child, the issue of phenotypically normal parents, who had fat malabsorption, both intestinal and hepatic steatosis, and serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations of 38 and 63 mg/dl, respectively. Lipoprotein electrophoresis, Ouchterlony double diffusion, and electron microscopy demonstrated that normal low density lipoproteins ...

Oral Apolipoprotein A-I Mimetic D-4F Lowers HDL-Inflammatory Index in High-Risk Patients: A First-in-Human Multiple-Dose, Randomized Controlled Trial. [PDF]
A single dose of the apolipoprotein (apo)A-I mimetic peptide D-4F rendered high-density lipoprotein (HDL) less inflammatory, motivating the first multiple-dose study. We aimed to assess safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of daily,

Human central nervous system (CNS) ApoE isoforms are increased by age, differentially altered by amyloidosis, and relative amounts reversed in the CNS compared with plasma [PDF]
The risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is highly dependent on apolipoprotein-E (apoE) genotype. The reasons for apoE isoform-selective risk are uncertain; however, both the amounts and structure of human apoE isoforms have been hypothesized to lead to ...

Generation of Intracellular Signals by Low Density Lipoprotein Is Independent of the Classical LDL Receptor [PDF]
Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and apolipoprotein B-100 (1 to 15 μg/mL) had no significant influence on the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsPa) formation in vascular smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (15

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.
