Reducing saturated fat intake is associated with increased levels of LDL receptors on mononuclear cells in healthy men and women

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
Studies with animal models suggest that saturated fatty acids raise low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels by reducing LDL receptor-mediated clearance. To examine this directly in humans, we studied the effects of lowering dietary saturated fat

Non-sterol regulation of low density lipoprotein receptor gene expression in T cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
Non-sterol regulation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene expression was examined in a mitogen-responsive human T cell line. Stimulation of the leukemic T cell line Jurkat with the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and the ...

Isoproterenol decreases LDL receptor expression in rat adipose cells: activation of cyclic AMP-dependent proteolysis

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
The low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is part of a family of proteins that mediate the uptake of lipoproteins into cells. In this paper we have demonstrated the over-expression in E. coli of a rat LDL receptor fusion protein that contains the region

A potential complication in the use of monoclonal antibodies: inhibition of apoB-mediated receptor binding by an anti-apoE antibody.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
Monoclonal antibody (Mab) 1D7 is specific for human apolipoprotein (apo) E and blocks binding of lipid-associated apoE to the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor. We report here that 1D7 can also block the binding of apoE-free LDL to the LDL receptor.

Macrophage-mediated oxidation of extracellular low density lipoprotein requires an initial binding of the lipoprotein to its receptor.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
Cells of the arterial wall including macrophages were shown to oxidize low density lipoprotein (LDL) in vitro. Upon incubation of LDL with J-774.A1 macrophage-like cell line for 18 h in the presence of 1 microM CuSO4, extensive macrophage-mediated ...

Factors regulating the activities of the low density lipoprotein receptor and the scavenger receptor on human monocyte-macrophages.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
Improved techniques of cell isolation resulted in 90 to 100 million monocytes from a single donor. Addition of low density lipoprotein (LDL) to to cultures of these cells resulted in the down regulation of LDL receptor activity.

ELISA measurement of LDL receptors

Journal of Lipid Research, 1990
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed for measurement of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors. A monospecific polyclonal antibody to LDL receptor purified from rat liver that reacted with rat, mouse, canine, and human LDL receptor was used.

Low density lipoprotein from humans supplemented with n-3 fatty acids depresses both LDL receptor activity and LDLr mRNA abundance in HepG2 cells.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1992
Fish oil supplementation in humans is often associated with an expanded low density lipoprotein (LDL) pool that is not thought to reflect increased production.

Role of receptor-independent low density lipoprotein transport in the maintenance of tissue cholesterol balance in the normal and WHHL rabbit.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1986
These studies were undertaken to determine the role of receptor-independent low density lipoprotein (LDL) transport in cholesterol balance across individual tissues and the whole animal.

Lipoprotein lipase-facilitated uptake of LDL is mediated by the LDL receptor

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
LPL mediates the uptake of lipoproteins into different cell types independent of its catalytic activity. The mechanism of this process and its physiological relevance are not clear.
