Indolinyl-Thiazole Based Inhibitors of Scavenger Receptor-BI (SR-BI)-Mediated Lipid Transport [PDF]
A potent class of indolinyl-thiazole based inhibitors of cellular lipid uptake mediated by scavenger receptor, class B, type I (SR-BI) was identified via a high-throughput screen of the National Institutes of Health Molecular Libraries Small Molecule ...

Is hypertriglyceridemic very low density lipoprotein a precursor of normal low density lipoprotein?
The precursor-product relationship of very low density (VLDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) was studied. VLDL obtained from normal (NTG) and hypertriglyceridemic (HTG) subjects was fractionated by zonal ultracentrifugation and subjected to in vitro ...

The cholesterol-raising diterpenes from coffee beans increase serum lipid transfer protein activity levels in humans [PDF]
Cafestol and kahweol–diterpenes present in unfiltered coffee— strongly raise serum VLDL and LDL cholesterol and slightly reduce HDL cholesterol in humans. The mechanism of action is unknown.

Plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity is high in rabbits, intermediate in humans, and nondetectable in rodents. Human apolipoprotein CI (apoCI) was found to be a potent inhibitor of CETP.

To determine whether nonhuman primates demonstrate the same alterations in transport of cholesteryl ester (CE) in plasma observed in diabetic humans, cholesteryl ester transfer (CET) was measured in cynomolgus monkeys with chronic spontaneous diabetes ...

Cholesteryl ester-rich microemulsions: stable protein-free analogs of low density lipoproteins.
A method has been devised for the preparation of stable lipid microemulsions containing cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, phosphatidylcholine, and trioleoylglycerol in the relative molar ratios found in low density lipoproteins.

The direct effect of apolipoprotein (apo) E on cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity was studied using lipoproteins from a subject with apoE deficiency (Atherosclerosis. 1991. 88: 15-20) as a model system.

Cholesteryl ester transfer from phospholipid vesicles to human density lipoproteins.
The exchange of cholesteryl esters between different lipoproteins was reported to bae mediated by a protein present in human plasma. In this study wer have examined the movement of cholesteryl ester from unilamellar phospholipid vesicles to high density ...

Elevation of plasma phospholipid transfer protein increases the risk of atherosclerosis despite lower apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins. [PDF]
Plasma phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) transfers phospholipids between lipoproteins and mediates HDL conversion. PLTP-overexpressing mice have increased atherosclerosis.
