Effect of a PCSK9 inhibitor and a statin on cholesterol efflux capacity: A limitation of current cholesterol-lowering treatments? [PDF]
Background: Cellular cholesterol efflux is a key step in reverse cholesterol transport that may impact on atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk. The process may be reliant on the availability of apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 containing lipoproteins to accept ...

Apolipoprotein B (apoB)-depleted sera of healthy subjects (control, n = 27) and patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD, n = 29) were examined for (A) their ability to promote [3H]-cholesterol efflux from macrophages. [3H]-cholesterol-labeled

Inflammatory remodeling of the HDL proteome impairs cholesterol efflux capacity[S] [PDF]
Recent studies demonstrate that HDL's ability to promote cholesterol efflux from macrophages associates strongly with cardioprotection in humans independently of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and apoA-I, HDL's major protein. However, the mechanisms that impair

Effects of pre-eclampsia on HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity after pregnancy [PDF]
Background and aims: Preeclampsia (PE) is associated with life-long increased risk of cardiovascular disease. One of the main protective functions of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is its role in reverse cholesterol transport.

Moderate alcohol consumption increases cholesterol efflux mediated by ABCA1
Moderate alcohol consumption increases HDL cholesterol, which is involved in reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate alcohol consumption on cholesterol efflux, using J774 mouse macrophages and ...

APOA2 increases cholesterol efflux capacity to plasma HDL by displacing the C-terminus of resident APOA1. [PDF]
The ability of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to promote cellular cholesterol efflux is a more robust predictor of cardiovascular disease protection than HDL-cholesterol levels in plasma.

Psoriasis alters HDL composition and cholesterol efflux capacity[S] [PDF]
Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, has been linked to increased myocardial infarction and stroke. Functional impairment of HDL may contribute to the excess cardiovascular mortality of psoriatic patients. However, data available regarding the

Genetic Determination of Plasma Cholesterol Efflux Capacity Is Gender-Specific and Independent of HDL-Cholesterol Levels [PDF]
International audienceObjective— We investigated the impact of several genetic variants located in genes encoding for proteins involved in biogenesis, maturation, and intravascular remodeling of high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles on plasma efflux ...

Development and validation of novel automatable assay for cholesterol efflux capacity. [PDF]
Abstract During the past decade, evaluation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality has been well studied for predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) is the strongest candidate as the biomarker out of various HDL antiatherosclerotic functions.
