1H NMR spectroscopy quantifies visibility of lipoproteins, subclasses, and lipids at varied temperatures and pressures

Journal of Lipid Research, 2019
NMR-based quantification of human lipoprotein (sub)classes is a powerful high-throughput method for medical diagnostics. We evaluated select proton NMR signals of serum lipoproteins for elucidating the physicochemical features and the absolute NMR ...

Weight loss surgery in adolescents corrects high-density lipoprotein subspecies and their function. [PDF]

, 2017
Background/objectiveYouth with obesity have an altered high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subspecies profile characterized by depletion of large apoE-rich HDL particles and an enrichment of small HDL particles.

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...

HDL-apolipoprotein A-I exchange is independently associated with cholesterol efflux capacity

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
HDL is the primary mediator of cholesterol mobilization from the periphery to the liver via reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). A critical first step in this process is the uptake of cholesterol from lipid-loaded macrophages by HDL, a function of HDL ...

Extracellular Vesicles Modulation by an Adiponectin Receptor Agonist Provides Cardioprotection for Myocardial Ischemic Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ALY688, a drug mimicking the heart‐protective hormone adiponectin, reduces myocardial ischemia injury. ALY688 increases the production of extracellular vesicles, which carry protective cargo including adiponectin itself.

A novel approach to measuring macrophage-specific reverse cholesterol transport in vivo in humans

Journal of Lipid Research, 2017
Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is thought to be an atheroprotective function of HDL, and macrophage-specific RCT in mice is inversely associated with atherosclerosis.

CORE: Cholesterol Altered Lipid Nanoparticles for Splenic Expression of mRNA Payloads

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this paper researchers introduce CORE LNPs, a new class of lipid nanoparticles engineered to redirect mRNA expression away from the liver and into the spleen, a key immune organ. By combining chemical design with computational tools, they created cholesterol analogs that enable precise spleen‐targeted expression, providing greater applications for ...

Hepatic lipase activity is lower in African American men than in white American men: effects of 5′ flanking polymorphism in the hepatic lipase gene (LIPC)

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations are higher in African American men than in white men, but the mechanism(s) responsible for this ethnic difference has not been elucidated.

A Physiological Microfluidic Blood–Brain‐Barrier Model for In Vitro Study of Nanoparticle Trafficking and Accumulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A human microfluidic blood‐brain barrier (mBBB) model enables spatially resolved comparison of nanoparticle trafficking. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), liposomes, and nanoplastics exhibit distinct transport and disruption behaviors, revealing that membrane composition and uptake pathways govern BBB interaction.

Effect of Poloxamer 407 on serum VLDL, LDL and HDL levels of rabbits

National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2014
Background: Poloxamer 407 is used in parenteral formulations as solubilizing and wetting agent for traditional, low-molecular-weight organic drug molecules and as stabilizing agent for proteins and polypeptide drugs.
