Lipid metabolism plays an essential role in the genesis and progress of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Herein, we identified and verified latent lipid-related genes involved in AMI by bioinformatic analysis. Lipid-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in AMI were identified using the GSE66360 dataset from the Gene Expression ...

Antiviral Actions of 25-Hydroxycholesterol in Fish Vary With the Virus-Host Combination
Cholesterol is essential for building and maintaining cell membranes and is critical for several steps in the replication cycle of viruses, especially for enveloped viruses. In mammalian cells virus infections lead to the accumulation of the oxysterol 25-

Atherosclerosis and Alzheimer - diseases with a common cause? Inflammation, oxysterols, vasculature [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Aging is accompanied by increasing vulnerability to pathologies such as atherosclerosis (ATH) and Alzheimer disease (AD). Are these different pathologies, or different presentations with a similar underlying pathoetiology?

Unique Transcriptional Profile of Sustained Ligand-Activated Preconditioning in Pre- and Post-Ischemic Myocardium [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Opioidergic SLP (sustained ligand-activated preconditioning) induced by 3–5 days of opioid receptor (OR) agonism induces persistent protection against ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury in young and aged hearts, and is mechanistically distinct

High density lipoprotein mediates anti-inflammatory transcriptional reprogramming of macrophages via the transcriptional repressor ATF3 [PDF]
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) mediates reverse cholesterol transport and it is known to be protective against atherosclerosis. In addition, HDL has potent anti-inflammatory properties that may be critical for protection against other inflammatory ...
