Most of the cholesterol in intestinal chyle and chylomicrons is derived from plasma. Our aim was to determine how much plasma low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoproteins contribute to the cholesterol in chyle and chylomicrons, and to examine ...

The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) raises cholesterol levels in the brain
The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a lipid transfer protein responsible for the exchange of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between lipoproteins. Decreased CETP activity is associated with longevity, cardiovascular health, and maintenance of good cognitive performance. Interestingly, mice lack the CETP-encoding gene and have very low

BackgroundDespite the widespread application of new drug-eluting stents, a considerable portion of patients experience in-stent restenosis (ISR). To date, the pathophysiologic mechanisms of ISR remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we collected ...

Oral Protein Therapy for the Future - Transport of Glycolipid-Modified Proteins: Vision or Fiction? [PDF]
The reliable and early diagnosis of common complex multifactorial diseases depends on the individual determination of all (or as many as possible) polymorphisms of each susceptibility gene together with amount and type of the corresponding gene products ...

Eight proteins potentially involved in cholesterol efflux [ABCA1, ABCG1, CYP27A1, phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), scavenger receptor type BI (SR-BI), caveolin-1, cholesteryl ester transfer protein, and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I)] were ...

Discovery of a Lead Triphenylethanamine Cholesterol Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) Inhibitor [PDF]
Lead optimization of the diphenylpyridylethanamine (DPPE) and triphenylethanamine (TPE) series of CETP inhibitors to improve their pharmaceutical profile is described. Polar groups at the N-terminus position in the DPPE series resulted in further improvement in potency and pharmaceutical properties concomitant with retaining the safety, efficacy, and ...

Human atherosclerotic intima contains mast cells that secrete the neutral protease chymase into the intimal fluid, which also contains HDL-modifying proteins, such as cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), in addition to abundant amounts of nascent ...

We have previously reported that normolipidemic smokers are lipid intolerant due to increased responses of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) apolipoprotein B-48, triglyceride (TG), and retinyl esters to a mixed meal compared to non-smokers.
