Genetic obesity increases pancreatic expression of mitochondrial proteins which regulate cholesterol efflux in BRIN-BD11 insulinoma cells [PDF]
Pancreatic β-cells are sensitive to fluctuations in cholesterol content, which can damage the insulin secretion pathway, contributing to the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Mitogenic stimulation alters the regulation of LDL receptor gene expression in human lymphocytes.
To address the possibility that influences other than ambient cholesterol concentrations regulate low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor expression, the effect of mitogenic activation on the levels of LDL receptor mRNA in human lymphocytes was examined ...

CXCL16 and oxLDL are induced in the onset of diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of end-stage renal failure worldwide. Oxidative stress has been reported to be a major culprit of the disease and increased oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) immune complexes were found in patients with ...

Measurement of total hepatic low density lipoprotein receptor levels in the hamster.
The ability to measure the total concentration of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors in hepatic tissues is of crucial importance to understanding changes in hepatic cholesterol metabolism.

Regulation of macrophage apoE secretion and sterol efflux by the LDL receptor
Factors that regulate apolipoprotein E (apoE) secretion by macrophages will have important effects on vessel wall lipid flux and atherosclerosis. Macrophages express the LDL receptor, which binds apoE with high affinity and could thereby affect the net ...

Expression of LDL receptor-related proteins (LRPs) in common solid malignancies correlates with patient survival [PDF]
LDL receptor-related proteins (LRPs) are transmembrane receptors involved in endocytosis, cell-signaling, and trafficking of other cellular proteins. Considerable work has focused on LRPs in the fields of vascular biology and neurobiology.

Rapid fluorometric assay of LDL receptor activity by DiI-labeled LDL.
DiI-LDL (3,3'-dioctadecylindocarbocyanine-low density lipoprotein) has been extensively used in morphological and microscopic studies of receptor-mediated metabolism of LDL in many cell lines.

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