A potential biomarker of cognitive impairment: The olfactory dysfunction and its genes expression
Abstract Objective Accumulation evidence has reported that olfactory impairment may be an essential clinical marker and predictor of mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease. Method Participants were enrolled in the population‐based, prospective study in Fuxin county, Liaoning province, China between 2019 and 2021.

Sequencing the Exon.4 of the LDL Receptor Gene in Patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia in the Population of Bushehr, Southwestern Iran: the Possible New Mutations [PDF]
Background & Objective: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common genetic disease in the world and an autosomal dominant disease characterized by increased plasma cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) concentrations.

LDL Receptors in Keratinocytes
The presence of sufficient amounts of cholesterol in the epidermis is necessary for proper functioning of plasma membranes in the viable epidermal cell layers and also for the barrier quality of lipid intercellular bilayers of the stratum corneum. Cholesterol can be generated by local epidermal synthesis, or imported from the circulation as low-density

Liver Transplantation to Provide Low-Density-Lipoprotein Receptors and Lower Plasma Cholesterol in a Child with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia [PDF]
A six-year-old girl with severe hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis had two defective genes at the low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor locus, as determined by biochemical studies of cultured fibroblasts.

A common polymorphism in the LDL receptor gene has multiple effects on LDL receptor function [PDF]
A common synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 12 of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene, rs688, has been associated with increased plasma total and LDL cholesterol in several populations. Using immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines from a healthy study population, we confirmed an earlier report that the minor allele of rs688 ...

Molecular genetics of the LDL receptor gene in familial hypercholesterolemia
The low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is a cell surface transmembrane protein that mediates the uptake and lysosomal degradation of plasma LDL, thereby providing cholesterol to cells.

Atomistic characterization of the SiO2 high-density liquid/low-density liquid interface [PDF]
The equilibrium silica liquid-liquid interface between the high-density liquid (HDL) phase and the low-density liquid (LDL) phase is examined using molecular-dynamics simulation. The structure, thermodynamics, and dynamics within the interfacial region are characterized in detail and compared with previous studies on the liquid-liquid phase transition (
