HDL efflux capacity, HDL particle size, and high-risk carotid atherosclerosis in a cohort of asymptomatic older adults: the Chicago Healthy Aging Study

Journal of Lipid Research, 2017
HDL efflux capacity and HDL particle size are associated with atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) events in middle-aged individuals; however, it is unclear whether these associations are present in older adults.

Plasma levels of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 are increased in patients with β-thalassemia

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor. We investigated the plasma levels of Lp-PLA2 activity and mass as a function of plasma lipid levels, LDL subclass profile, and oxidative stress in patients ...

Apolipoprotein A-I, A-II, and VLDL-B-100 metabolism in men

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
The impact of a low-fat diet and a high-MUFA diet on apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), apoA-II, and VLDL-apoB-100 metabolism in conditions of unrestricted (ad libitum) energy intake was compared in 65 men randomly assigned to one of two predefined ...

Maturation of high-density lipoproteins

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2009
Human high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are involved in the transport of cholesterol. The mechanism by which HDL assembles and functions is not well understood owing to a lack of structural information on circulating spherical HDL. Here, we report a series of molecular dynamics simulations that describe the maturation of discoidal HDL into spherical HDL

Isolation and Characterization of a Cellular Protein-Lipid Complex from Ascites Fluid Caused by Various Neoplasms [PDF]

, 1986
High concentrations of lipids in ascites fluid caused by peritoneal carcinomatosis have been described recently. Since their nature has not yet been clarified, we isolated ascitic lipids from 25 patients with various neoplasms for further ...

Lipoprotein metabolism of pregnant women is associated with both their genetic polymorphisms and those of their newborn children1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
To explore whether the placenta contributes to the lipoprotein metabolism of pregnant women, we took advantage of the fact that placental proteins are encoded from the fetal genome and examined the associations between lipids of 525 pregnant women and ...

Transcriptional Regulation of the Human Hepatic Lipase Gene: Relation to Glucose and Lipid Metabolism [PDF]

, 2012
Hepatic Lipase (HL; EC 3.1.1.3) is an extracellular glycoprotein with phospholipase A1 and triacylglycerol hydrolase activity. The human HL protein is encoded by the LIPC gene on chromosome 15q21.

High Density Lipoprotein-Binding Proteins in Liver [PDF]

, 1997
In one of the oldest civilizations we know, that of ancient Egypt, thoughts about the heart reflected a certain duality. On the one hand, the heart was associated with concepts like virtue, or soul.
