Apolipoprotein A-II influences apolipoprotein E-linked cardiovascular disease risk in women with high levels of HDL cholesterol and C-reactive protein. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In a previous report by our group, high levels of apolipoprotein E (apoE) were demonstrated to be associated with risk of incident cardiovascular disease in women with high levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the setting of both low ...

The Circularization of Amyloid Fibrils Formed by Apolipoprotein C-II [PDF]
Amyloid fibrils have historically been characterized by diagnostic dye-binding assays, their fibrillar morphology, and a "cross-beta" x-ray diffraction pattern. Whereas the latter demonstrates that amyloid fibrils have a common beta-sheet core structure, they display a substantial degree of morphological variation.

Amyloid fibrils formed by selective N-, C-terminal sequences of mouse apolipoprotein A-II [PDF]
In mice, amyloidogenic type C apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II) forms amyloid fibrils in age-associated amyloidosis. To understand the mechanism of amyloid fibril formation by apoA-II, we examined the polymerization of synthetic partial peptides of apoA-II ...

Apolipoprotein AIV gene variant S347 is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and lower plasma apolipoprotein AIV levels [PDF]
The impact of common variants in the apolipoprotein gene cluster (APOC3-A4-A5) on prospective coronary heart disease (CHD) risk was examined in healthy UK men. Of the 2808 men followed over 9 years, 187 had a clinically defined CHD event.

Allelic drop-out may occur with a primer binding site polymorphism for the commonly used RFLP assay for the -1131T>C polymorphism of the Apolipoprotein AV gene. [PDF]
Apolipoprotein AV (ApoAV) gene variant, -1131T>C, is associated with increased triglyceride concentrations in all ethnic groups studied. An MseI based RFLP analysis is the most commonly used method for genotyping this SNP.

High postprandial triglyceridemia in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria
Microalbuminuria (MA) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Postprandial lipemia is also associated with excess cardiovascular risk.

Effect of Early Enteral Feeding on Apolipoprotein AI Levels and High-Density Lipoprotein Heterogeneity in Preterm Infants [PDF]
Background/Aim: We have previously shown that infants receiving total parenteral nutrition have low apolipoprotein Al levels which are associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) class distributions as in lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase ...

Primary structure of apolipoprotein A-II from inbred mouse strain BALB/c.
The primary structure of apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II) isolated from the plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) fraction of the inbred mouse strain BALB/c is described in this work. The complete 78 amino acid protein sequence was determined by proteolytic

The turnover and metabolism of the individual C apolipoproteins (C-II, C-III1, and C-III2) were studied following the injection of 125I-labeled VLDL into 15 normal and hyperlipoproteinemic subjects. The C apolipoproteins from very low density lipoprotein
