Age-related impairment of HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux
Journal of Lipid Research, 2007 Our aim in this study was to investigate the effect of aging on the capacity of HDLs to promote reverse cholesterol transport. HDLs were isolated from plasma of young (Y-HDL) and elderly (E-HDL) subjects. HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux was studied using

Lower than average HDL cholesterol efflux capacity in Lithuanian population [PDF]
Lipids in Health and Disease, 2019 Abstract Background The aim of our study was to evaluate high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) efflux capacity in healthy controls and patients with severe dyslipidemia. Evaluation of HDL function may be beneficial for better understanding of cardiovascular diseases, as well as for taking actions to

The Varied Role of Efflux Pumps of the MFS Family in the Interplay of Bacteria with Animal and Plant Cells [PDF]
, 2019 Efflux pumps represent an important and large group of transporter proteins found in all organisms. The importance of efflux pumps resides in their ability to extrude a wide range of antibiotics, resulting in the emergence of multidrug resistance in many

Histone deacetylase 3 represses cholesterol efflux during CD4+ T-cell activation
eLife, 2021 After antigenic activation, quiescent naive CD4+ T cells alter their metabolism to proliferate. This metabolic shift increases production of nucleotides, amino acids, fatty acids, and sterols.

Moderate alcohol consumption increases cholesterol efflux mediated by ABCA1
Journal of Lipid Research, 2004 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 ...

Lipid levels are inversely associated with infectious and all-cause mortality: international MONDO study results. [PDF]
, 2018 Cardiovascular (CV) events are increased 36-fold in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, randomized controlled trials to lower LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and serum total cholesterol (TC) have not shown significant mortality improvements.

Cellular SR-BI and ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux are gender-specific in healthy subjectss⃞
Journal of Lipid Research, 2008 We evaluated the impact of gender differences in both the quantitative and qualitative features of HDL subspecies on cellular free cholesterol efflux through the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), ABCA1, and ABCG1 pathways.
