The HIV protease inhibitor ritonavir increases lipoprotein production and has no effect on lipoprotein clearance in mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
This study examined the effect of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitor therapy on lipoprotein production and catabolism in vivo. The HIV protease inhibitor ritonavir was given to C57BL/6 mice fed either a basal low-fat diet or a Western ...

Statin's role on blood pressure levels: Meta‐analysis based on randomized controlled trials

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2023
Statins have been proven to be effective in minimizing the risk of cardiovascular adverse events, however, their effect on BP variability is debatable with respect to their significance and their use as a potential anti‐hypertensive.

C-reactive protein: associations with haematological variables, cardiovascular risk factors and prevalent cardiovascular disease [PDF]

, 2003
C-reactive protein (CRP) has been proposed as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, this association is confounded by mutual relationships with both classical and haematological cardiovascular risk factors. We, therefore, measured CRP with a

Antioxidant status in acute stroke patients and patients at stroke risk [PDF]

, 2004
Background and Purpose: Antioxidant enzymes like copper/ zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and gluthatione peroxidase (GSHPx) are part of intracellular protection mechanisms to overcome oxidative stress and are known to be activated in vascular ...

Differential expression of ACAT1 and ACAT2 among cells within liver, intestine, kidney, and adrenal of nonhuman primates

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Two closely related enzymes with more than 50% sequence identity have been identified that catalyze the esterification of cholesterol using acyl-CoA substrates, namely acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) and ACAT2.

Alzheimer and vascular brain diseases: Focal and diffuse subforms. [PDF]

, 2015
Alois Alzheimer is best known for his description of the pre-senile neurodegenerative disease named after him. However, his previous interest in vascular brain diseases, underlying cognitive and behavioral changes, was very strong. Besides describing the

ACAT2 contributes cholesteryl esters to newly secreted VLDL, whereas LCAT adds cholesteryl ester to LDL in mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
The relative contributions of ACAT2 and LCAT to the cholesteryl ester (CE) content of VLDL and LDL were measured. ACAT2 deficiency led to a significant decrease in the percentage of CE (37.2 ± 2.1% vs.

Association of high-sensitive C-reactive protein with advanced stage beta-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]

, 2006
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. One laboratory marker for cardiovascular risk assessment is high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).

Separation and characterization of plasma lipoproteins of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Journal of Lipid Research, 1977
A group of 14 adult male rhesus monkeys was maintained on a low cholesterol–high fat diet. Periodically, animals were fasted and blood samples were taken for characterization of the plasma lipoproteins.
