Influence of an atherogenic diet on the structure of swine low density lipoproteins
Five groups of three swine each were fed a basal diet supplemented with 15% tallow and either 0.0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0%, or 2.5% cholesterol. The animals were studied over a period of 9 weeks to observe changes in plasma lipids and low density lipoproteins ...

Deep-coverage whole genome sequences and blood lipids among 16,324 individuals. [PDF]
Large-scale deep-coverage whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is now feasible and offers potential advantages for locus discovery. We perform WGS in 16,324 participants from four ancestries at mean depth >29X and analyze genotypes with four quantitative ...

Addressing dyslipidemic risk beyond LDL-cholesterol [PDF]
Despite the success of LDL-lowering drugs in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD), there remains a large burden of residual disease due in part to persistent dyslipidemia characterized by elevated levels of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) and reduced levels of HDL.

These studies were undertaken to examine the effect of aging on low density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism in the male hamster. When the hamsters were maintained on a low-cholesterol, low-triglyceride diet, rates of LDL transport in the various tissues of ...

Fenofibrate treatment increases human serum proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 levels
Over the past several years, proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has gained significant attention as a key regulator of serum LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels.

FoxO3 transcription factor and Sirt6 deacetylase regulate LDL-cholesterol homeostasis via control of the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (Pcsk9) gene expression [PDF]
Elevated LDL-cholesterol is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. Thus, proper control of LDL-cholesterol homeostasis is critical for organismal health.

Cellular cholesterol efflux and cholesterol loading capacity of serum: effects of LDL-apheresis
High LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) characterizes familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH). LDL-apheresis, used in these patients to reduce LDL-C levels, has been shown to also affect HDL levels and composition.

Interleukin-6 blockade raises LDL via reduced catabolism rather than via increased synthesis: a cytokine-specific mechanism for cholesterol changes in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Objectives Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have reduced serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), which increases following therapeutic IL-6 blockade. We aimed to define the metabolic pathways underlying these lipid changes.
