Two subpopulations of apolipoprotein A-I-containing lipoproteins, those containing only apoA-I (LpA-I) and those containing both apoA-I and apoA-II (LpA-I/A-II), were isolated by immunoaffinity chromatography of plasma from 44 subjects, comprising four ...

Hyperglycaemia‐driven metabolic dysfunction is associated with elevated circulating levels of the shared IL‐12/IL‐35 p35 subunit and an adverse atherogenic phenotype. These findings identify p35 as a promising biomarker of cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, encompassing coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart failure, and cerebrovascular disorders. The global burden of CVD continues to rise, driven by complex interactions among endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation,

BackgroundLipopolysaccharide (LPS) decreases hepatic CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) expression albeit that the underlying mechanism is disputed. We recently showed that plasma CETP is mainly derived from Kupffer cells (KCs).

This study identifies uterus weight as a heritable (h2 = 0.45) intermediate phenotype that independently associates with late‐life egg production and eggshell quality in aged laying hens. Genome‐wide association study (GWAS) reveals a genome‐wide significant locus on chromosome 3 and suggestive loci on chromosome 11 for uterus weight, mediation ...

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein expression is down-regulated in hyperinsulinemic transgenic mice
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates cholesteryl ester (CE) and triglyceride redistribution among plasma lipoproteins. In this work, we investigated whether varying levels of insulin regulate the CETP expression in vivo. Insulin deficiency [

The LDL‐C/ApoB ratio, a marker of LDL size, showed significant prognostic value in statin‐treated CAD patients depending on diabetes status. A higher ratio was linked to lower cardiovascular risk only in patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting it may be a superior biomarker for risk stratification beyond conventional lipids in this high‐risk group ...

Viability of developing CETP inhibitors
The recent failure of a major inhibitor of the cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), in trials on high-risk coronary patients, indicated that potentially this therapeutic target might not be a viable one.

Evolutionary conservation of CETP with the 24 CETP variants indicated.
Multiple sequence alignment of 24 CETP genes from different species. Protein sequences that are homologous to human CETP were obtained from the NCBI RefSeq database resources [1] by employing standard BLAST sequence searching [2].
