Arginine-directed glycation and decreased HDL plasma concentration and functionality [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Decreased plasma concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is a risk factor linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Decreased anti-atherogenic properties of HDL are also implicated in increased

Low density lipoproteins (LDL), lipoprotein (a)(Lp(a)), and lipoprotein(a) after removal of the a-protein (Lp(a-)) were compared with respect to their ability to accept cholesteryl ester from high density lipoproteins (HDL).

Melatonin Promotes Improvement in Serum Lipid Levels and Liver Histopathology in Hyperlipidemic Rats
ABSTRACT Hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia is the term used for the increase in lipid levels in blood plasma, usually occurring due to a high‐fat diet associated with a sedentary lifestyle. The increase in lipid levels can cause fatty infiltration in the liver known as hepatic steatosis, which can lead to inflammation, fibrosis, and necrosis consecutively.

Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) contributes importantly to the hydrolysis of cholesteryl ester in steroidogenic tissues, releasing the cholesterol required for adrenal steroidogenesis.

Prevention of Myc‐Driven Prostate Cancer in Mice by Oral Administration of Sulforaphane
ABSTRACT Prevention is desirable to reduce suffering and death from prostate cancer. However, a clinical‐grade intervention for the prevention of this malignancy is still lacking. This study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of prostate cancer prevention by broccoli constituent sulforaphane (SFN) because epidemiological studies have suggested

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) plays a controversial role in atherogenesis by contributing to the net transfer of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesteryl ester (CE) to the liver via apolipoprotein-B-containing lipoproteins (apoB-LP).

Background and purpose: Cholesteryl ester transfer protein is a crucial regulator of lipid metabolism and is considered a promising target for treating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Given the clinical limitations and adverse effects of previous

The net transfer of core lipids between lipoproteins is facilitated by cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP). We have recently documented CETP deficiency in a family with hyperalphalipoproteinemia, due to a CETP gene splicing defect.

The LDL‐C/ApoB ratio, a marker of LDL size, showed significant prognostic value in statin‐treated CAD patients depending on diabetes status. A higher ratio was linked to lower cardiovascular risk only in patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting it may be a superior biomarker for risk stratification beyond conventional lipids in this high‐risk group ...

Diets rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids lower plasma HDL cholesterol concentrations when compared to diets rich in saturated fatty acids. We investigated the mechanistic basis for this effect in the hamster and sought to determine whether reduced ...
