Low LDL cholesterol, PCSK9 and HMGCR genetic variation, and risk of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease: Mendelian randomisation study

British medical journal, 2017
Objective To test the hypothesis that low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol due to genetic variation in the genes responsible for LDL cholesterol metabolism and biosynthesis(PCSK9 and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), respectively) is

Response to Allopurinol and Febuxostat According to the Fractional Excretion of Urate in Men With Gout

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and pretreatment urate levels have been reported to influence the urate‐lowering response to allopurinol. We investigated whether the fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) also modulates this response and relates to oxypurinol concentrations.

Sialic acid content of low density lipoprotein and its relation to lipid concentrations and metabolism of low density lipoprotein and cholesterol

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
A low sialic acid content in low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been associated with atherogenicity and coronary artery disease (CAD) in many but not all studies. We investigated associations of the sialic acid-to-apolipoprotein B (apoB) ratio of LDL with

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and risk of COPD: Copenhagen General Population Study

ERJ Open Research, 2023
Background Randomised controlled trials found that low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol-lowering statins increase lung function and possibly decrease rate of exacerbations in individuals with COPD.

Oral Dosed Organo‐Silica Nanoparticles Restore Glucose Homeostasis and β‐Cell Function in Diabetes Rats

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An oral nanoplatform, MOP@T@D, which can maintain glucose homeostasis and restore islet β cells in diabetic rats is developed. It achieves efficient intestinal absorption and liver‐targeted delivery. The nanoparticle disintegrates only in response to hyperglycemia to release insulin on demand and provides antioxidant protection through selenoprotein ...

Genetic associations between serum low LDL-cholesterol levels and variants in LDLR, APOB, PCSK9 and LDLRAP1 in African populations.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), are increasing in African populations. High serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) levels are a known risk factor for CVDs in European populations, but the link ...

A New Equation for Calculation of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Patients With Normolipidemia and/or Hypertriglyceridemia.

JAMA cardiology, 2020
Importance Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), a key cardiovascular disease marker, is often estimated by the Friedewald or Martin equation, but calculating LDL-C is less accurate in patients with a low LDL-C level or hypertriglyceridemia ...
