Adipose tissue cholesteryl ester transfer protein mRNA in response to probucol treatment: cholesterol and species dependence

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
Probucol treatment results in an increase in plasma concentrations of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) which may account, in part, for the effects of this agent on plasma concentrations of HDL cholesterol. We have examined the mechanism by which

Quantifying apoprotein synthesis in rodents: coupling LC-MS/MS analyses with the administration of labeled water

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
Stable isotope tracer studies of apoprotein flux in rodent models present difficulties as they require working with small volumes of plasma. We demonstrate the ability to measure apoprotein flux by administering either 2H- or 18O-labeled water to mice ...

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mRNA abundance in human adipose tissue: relationship to cell size and membrane cholesterol content.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has a well-defined role in plasma neutral lipid transport. CETP synthesized by human adipose tissue may contribute to the plasma CETP pool. CETP mRNA abundance increases in subcutaneous adipose tissue in response

Isolation and characterization of an apoA-II-containing lipoprotein (LP-A-II:B complex) from plasma very low density lipoproteins of patients with Tangier disease and type V hyperlipoproteinemia.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
Previous studies have shown that very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) from patients with Tangier disease are less effective as a substrate for human milk lipoprotein lipase (LPL) than VLDL from normal controls as assessed by measuring the first order ...

Circulating Markers Reflect Both Anti- and Pro-Atherogenic Drug Effects in ApoE-Deficient Mice

Biomarker Insights, 2008
Background Current drug therapy of atherosclerosis is focused on treatment of major risk factors, e.g. hypercholesterolemia while in the future direct disease modification might provide additional benefits.

Effect of dietary cholesterol and taurocholate on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and hepatic LDL receptors in inbred mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
Compared to BALB/c mice, inbred C57BL/6 mice are more susceptible to developing fatty streak atherosclerotic lesions when fed a cholesterol-rich diet containing taurocholate. We examined the metabolic basis for the taurocholate requirement.

Mouse models to study von Willebrand factor in inflammation: a scoping review

Intensive Care Medicine Experimental
Background VWF is released from activated endothelial cells and activated platelets in response to vascular injury, and is now recognized as an important contributor to a growing number of inflammatory conditions. This scoping review aims to identify and

D4F alleviates macrophage-derived foam cell apoptosis by inhibiting CD36 expression and ER stress-CHOP pathway[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
This study was designed to explore the protective effect of D4F, an apoA-I mimetic peptide, on oxidized LDL (ox-LDL)-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) homologous protein (CHOP) pathway-mediated apoptosis in ...

Recent advances in the treatment of venous thromboembolism in the era of the direct oral anticoagulants [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2017
The direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have now supplanted vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for the treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The DOACs include dabigatran, which inhibits thrombin, and rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban, which inhibit ...
