Influence of apolipoprotein-E gene on lipid profile, physical activity and body fat relationship

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2012
Physical activity and body fat modify lipemia, and this effect seems to be influenced by apolipoprotein-E (APOE) gene polymorphism. Thus, the purpose of this article was to review main results of studies that have analyzed the relation of APOE gene with ...

APOLIPOPROTEIN A1 AND B ENHANCE INTERNALIZATION AND INFECTION OF DENGUE VIRUS SEROTYPE 2 (DENV2) IN HUH-7 CELL LINES

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
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,

The amphipathic helix in the exchangeable apolipoproteins: a review of secondary structure and function.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1992
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

Peripheral blood mitochondrial DNA content in relation to circulating metabolites and inflammatory markers: a population study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content might undergo significant changes caused by metabolic derangements, oxidative stress and inflammation that lead to development and progression of cardiovascular diseases.

Estimating the level of carbamoylated plasma non-high-density lipoproteins using infrared spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: The increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients can be partly explained by the presence of carbamoylated lipoproteins. Lipid profiles can be determined with infrared spectroscopy. In this

Apolipoprotein E and Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Neuroscience, 1995
The apolipoprotein E locus (APOE) is associated with variations in the age of onset and risk of Alzheimer's disease. The APOE4 allele increases the probability of disease at an earlier age. In contrasL the APOE3 and APOE2 alleles decrease the probability of disease and increase the age of onset. Therefore the metabolism of apolipoprotein E is relevant

Increased levels of MMP-3, MMP-9 and MPO represent predictors of in-stent restenosis, while increased levels of ADMA, LCAT, ApoE and ApoD predict bare metal stent patency

open access: yesBiomedical Papers, 2015
Aims: We sought to identify biochemical predictors that indicate susceptibility to in-stent restenosis (ISR) after coronary artery bare-metal stenting.

Postprandial apoE isoform and conformational changes associated with VLDL lipolysis products modulate monocyte inflammation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
ObjectivePostprandial hyperlipemia, characterized by increased circulating very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and circulating lipopolysaccharide (LPS), has been proposed as a mechanism of vascular injury.
