Diagnostic and pathogenetic significance of apolipoprotein disorders in patients with alcoholic fatty liver [PDF]
Background/Aim. Alcohol is the most common cause of fatty liver. Alcohol metabolism takes place in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase, to toxic acetaldehyde, with fatty acids accumulation in the liver as a consequence.

Several Human Liver Cell Expressed Apolipoproteins Complement HCV Virus Production with Varying Efficacy Conferring Differential Specific Infectivity to Released Viruses. [PDF]
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), an exchangeable apolipoprotein, is necessary for production of infectious Hepatitis C virus (HCV) particles. However, ApoE is not the only liver-expressed apolipoprotein and the role of other apolipoproteins for production of ...

Smoking and apolipoprotein levels: A meta-analysis of published data
Background: Apolipoproteins are major components of lipoproteins such as high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and very-low-density lipoprotein and are considered nontraditional markers in the risk assessment for cardiovascular disease.

Apolipoprotein A‐I induced amyloidosis [PDF]
Amyloidosis is characterized by extracellular deposits of protein fibrils with a high content of β‐sheets in secondary structure. The protein forms together with proteoglycans amyloid fibrils causing organ damage and serious morbidity. Intact apolipoprotein A‐I (apoA‐I) is an important protein in lipid metabolism regulating the synthesis and catabolism

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 ...

The effect of apolipoprotein(a)-, apolipoprotein E-, and apolipoprotein A4- polymorphisms on quantitative lipoprotein(a) concentrations [PDF]
AbstractThe effects of apolipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein-E, and apolipoprotein-A4 isoforms on quantitative lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels were assessed in a sample of 142 Dutch families consisting of two parents and their adolescent twin offspring. A total heritability of 95% was estimated for plasma Lp(a) concentrations.
