Oxidized low-density lipoprotein inhibits hepatitis C virus cell entry in human hepatoma cells. [PDF]
Cell entry of hepatitis C virus, pseudoparticles (HCVpp) and cell culture grown virus (HCVcc), requires the interaction of viral glycoproteins with CD81 and other as yet unknown cellular factors.

Publisher Summary The methods discussed in this chapter provide fairly simple, sensitive, and reliable means of determining the content of apoB-48 and apoB-100 in Sf>12 lipoproteins, by analytical sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), with subsequent conventional protein staining and gel scanning.

Vascular function and cardiovascular risk factors in women with severe flushing [PDF]
Background: Seventy per cent of postmenopausal women suffer from hot flushes causing significant morbidity in 25%. Oestrogen replacement provides symptom relief, but its use has declined following safety issues and there is, as yet, no good alternative ...

Apolipoprotein E: from cardiovascular disease to neurodegenerative disorders. [PDF]
Apolipoprotein (apo) E was initially described as a lipid transport protein and major ligand for low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors with a role in cholesterol metabolism and cardiovascular disease.

Human ApoD, an apolipoprotein up-regulated in neurodegenerative diseases, extends lifespan and increases stress resistance in Drosophila [PDF]
Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) expression increases in several neurological disorders and in spinal cord injury. We provide a report of a physiological role for human ApoD (hApoD): Flies overexpressing hApoD are long-lived and protected against stress ...

Insulin modulation of newly synthesized apolipoproteins B-100 and B-48 in human fetal intestine: Gene expression and mRNA editing are not involved [PDF]
We investigated insulin's effect on intestinal lipid transport and, particularly, the biogenesis of apolipoproteins crucial to lipoprotein secretion. Adding insulin (3 mU) to the serum-free medium of cultured jejunal explants from human fetuses (17–20 ...

Integrating ancestry, differential methylation analysis, and machine learning, we identified robust epigenetic signature genes (ESGs) and Core‐ESGs in Black and White women with endometrial cancer. Core‐ESGs (namely APOBEC1 and PLEKHG5) methylation levels were significantly associated with survival, with tumors from high African ancestry (THA) showing ...

Intro: Previous studies have suggested an association between HDL, LDL cholesterol and dengue severity; however, the molecules involved in dengue virus (DENV) entry remain poorly understood. This study aims to determine the effects of apolipoproteins A1,

Effects of overexpression of the amino-terminal fragment of apolipoprotein B on apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein production [PDF]
In vitro studies have shown that the binding site for microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is within the first 17% of apoB (apoB-17). Expression of apoB-48 in McArdle cells decreases endogenous lipoprotein production; however, overexpression of human apoB in transgenic mice does not decrease endogenous mouse apoB expression.

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Is Associated With Higher R2 Relaxation Rate: An MRI and Pathology Study
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves β‐amyloid deposition in the walls of cortical and leptomeningeal small vessels. Transverse relaxation rate (R2) is a major source of contrast in MRI. This study tested the hypothesis that CAA is associated with R2, extracted the spatial pattern of CAA‐related R2 abnormalities, and evaluated ...
