Smoking and apolipoprotein levels: A meta-analysis of published data
Toxicology Reports, 2022 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.

The Carboxyl-Terminal Segment of Apolipoprotein A-V Undergoes a Lipid-Induced Conformational Change [PDF]
, 2010 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 ...

Diagnostic and pathogenetic significance of apolipoprotein disorders in patients with alcoholic fatty liver [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2017 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.

Degradation of human apolipoprotein B‐100 by apolipoprotein(a)
FEBS Letters, 1993 Human plasma low density lipoproteine (LDL) contain a very high molecular weight protein termed apoB‐100 (M r = 550,000). In many samples of LDL, minor components designated as apoB‐74 (M r = 407,000) and apoB‐26 (M r = 145,000) are present. It has been shown that they can arise as a result of proteolytic degradation of apoB‐100.

Apolipoprotein B Is Associated With the Microenvironment of Cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 BackgroundCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a kind of devastating malignancy, which is correlated with the extremely high mortality. Due to the occult pathogenesis of CCA, most patients are diagnosed in the advanced stage. However, the efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy is limited for these patients.

Apolipoprotein[a] is not associated with apolipoprotein B in human liver
Journal of Lipid Research, 1994 The aim of this research was to determine whether apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]) is linked to apolipoprotein B (apoB) in human liver. Four ELISAs were developed: 1) a competition assay that measures apoB; 2) a competition assay that measures apo[a]; 3) a capture assay based on capture of apo[a] by a polyclonal antibody and detection of co-immobilized apoB ...
