Cholesterol metabolism and tumor [PDF]

Journal of Zhejiang University (Medical Sciences), 2021
Cholesterol is an important lipid in the body of mammals and an essential component of membrane structures. Cholesterol homeostasis is critical for the maintenance of cellular and body activities, and is mainly regulated by the balance of cholesterol biosynthesis and the exogenous cholesterol uptake. Aberrantly regulated cholesterol metabolism promotes

Reduction of circulating cholesterol and apolipoprotein levels during sepsis [PDF]

, 1999
Sepsis with multiple organ failure is frequently associated with a substantial decrease of cholesterol levels. This decrease of cholesterol is strongly associated with mortality suggesting a direct relation between inflammatory conditions and altered ...

Sorting through the extensive and confusing roles of sortilin in metabolic disease

Journal of Lipid Research, 2022
Sortilin is a post-Golgi trafficking receptor homologous to the yeast vacuolar protein sorting receptor 10 (VPS10). The VPS10 motif on sortilin is a 10-bladed β-propeller structure capable of binding more than 50 proteins, covering a wide range of ...

Biliary cholesterol crystallization characterized by single-crystal cryogenic electron diffraction

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Cholesterol crystals are the building blocks of cholesterol gallstones. The exact structure of early-forming crystals is still controversial. We combined cryogenic-temperature transmission electron microscopy with cryogenic-temperature electron ...

Long Term Anticoagulation (4–16 Years) Stops Progression of Idiopathic Hip Osteonecrosis Associated with Familial Thrombophilia

Advances in Orthopedics, 2015
In 6 patients with familial thrombophilia (5 Factor V (FV) Leiden heterozygotes, 1 with resistance to activated protein C (RAPC)), we prospectively assessed whether continuous longterm (4–16 years) anticoagulation would prevent progression of idiopathic ...
