Prevention of low density lipoprotein aggregation by high density lipoprotein or apolipoprotein A-I.
We have shown previously that low density lipoprotein (LDL) subjected to vortexing forms self-aggregates that are avidly phagocytosed by macrophages. That phagocytic uptake is mediated by the LDL receptor.

The mechanisms by which LDLs and HDLs cross the vascular endothelium from plasma into interstitial fluid are not understood, and have never been studied in humans in vivo.

High-Density Lipoproteins Are Bug Scavengers [PDF]
Lipoproteins were initially defined according to their composition (lipids and proteins) and classified according to their density (from very low- to high-density lipoproteins—HDLs). Whereas their capacity to transport hydrophobic lipids in a hydrophilic environment (plasma) is not questionable, their primitive function of cholesterol transporter could

Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), hepatic lipase (HL), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) have all been reported to be intricately involved in HDL metabolism but the effect of PLTP on the apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins relative to that of HL and ...

Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a novel apolipoprotein that is reportedly necessary for preβ HDL formation; however, its detailed function remains unknown. We investigated the biogenesis and properties of apoM and its effects on the initial steps of nascent ...

Background There is accumulating evidence that serum levels of non–high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HDL‐C) are a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular outcomes when compared with low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Assembly of High-Density Lipoprotein [PDF]
Mammalian somatic cells do not catabolize cholesterol and need to export it for its homeostasis at the levels of cells and whole bodies. This reaction may reduce intracellularly accumulated cholesterol in excess and would contribute to prevention or regression of the initial stage of atherosclerosis.

Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.
