The Roles of Fatty Acids and Apolipoproteins in the Kidneys
The kidneys are organs that require energy from the metabolism of fatty acids and glucose; several studies have shown that the kidneys are metabolically active tissues with an estimated energy requirement similar to that of the heart.

ApoPred: Identification of Apolipoproteins and Their Subfamilies With Multifarious Features
Apolipoprotein is a group of plasma proteins that are associated with a variety of diseases, such as hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes.

Like rat C apolipoproteins, each of the C apolipoproteins from human blood plasma (C-I, C-II, C-III-1, and C-III-2) bound to small chylomicrons from mesenteric lymph of estradiol-treated rats and inhibited their uptake by the isolated perfused rat liver.

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 ...

Gain and loss events in the evolution of the apolipoprotein family in vertebrata
Background Various apolipoproteins widely distributed among vertebrata play key roles in lipid metabolism and have a direct correlation with human diseases as diagnostic markers.

Hepatitis C virus relies on lipoproteins for its life cycle [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects over 150 million people worldwide. In most cases, HCV infection becomes chronic causing liver disease ranging from fibrosis to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Apolipoproteins of high, low, and very low density lipoproteins in human bile
We tested the hypothesis that apolipoproteins, the protein constituents of plasma lipoproteins, are secreted into bile. We examined human gallbladder bile obtained at surgery (N = 54) from subjects with (N = 44) and without (N = 10) gallstones and ...

ABCA1 redistributes membrane cholesterol independent of apolipoprotein interactions
ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates the transport of phospholipids and cholesterol from cells to lipid-poor HDL apolipoproteins. Cholesterol loading of cells induces ABCA1, implicating cholesterol as its major physiologic substrate.

Influence of different fat emulsions with 10 or 20% MCT/LCT or LCT on lipoproteins in plasma of patients after abdominal surgery [PDF]
In patients after elective abdominal surgery, different fat emulsions were used to compare their efficacy in total parenteral nutrition and in normalizing plasma lipoprotein levels.

Site-directed mutagenesis and other molecular biology-based techniques are now available for probing the amphipathic alpha helix structural motif in the exchangeable apolipoproteins. Here we survey the published literature on lipid-binding and functional
