Targeting inflammation to reduce cardiovascular disease risk: a realistic clinical prospect? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Data from basic science experiments is overwhelmingly supportive of the causal role of immune-inflammatory response(s) at the core of atherosclerosis, and therefore the theoretical potential to manipulate the inflammatory response to prevent ...

Primary structure comparison of the proposed low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor binding domain of human and pig apolipoprotein B: implications for LDL-receptor interactions

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1988
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is the predominant protein in low density lipoprotein (LDL) and is responsible for LDL binding to the LDL receptor. Although the primary amino acid sequence of human apoB has been determined, little is known about the structural ...

Development, food intake, and ethinylestradiol influence hepatic triglyceride lipase and LDL-receptor mRNA levels in rats.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1990
The influence of development and ethinylestradiol on low density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor mRNA and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) activity and mRNA levels was studied in rat liver and intestine.

Calcium induces a conformational change in the ligand binding domain of the low density lipoprotein receptor

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1998
We previously have shown that LDL-R354, a truncated low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, is a calcium binding protein. LDL-R354 is composed of the ligand binding domain and repeat A of the EGF precursor homology domain of the full-length human LDL ...

Towards Genetic Prediction of Coronary Heart Disease in Familial Hypercholesterolemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder of lipid metabolism caused by mutations in the gene coding for the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor.

Expression of low density lipoprotein receptor in cultured human granulosa cells: regulation by human chorionic gonadotropin, cyclic AMP, and sterol.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1990
Steroidogenic cells utilize lipoprotein-delivered cholesterol as a primary substrate for hormone synthesis. We studied low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors in cultured human granulosa cells to determine what factors regulate receptor expression ...

Three patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: Genomic sequencing and kindred analysis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BackgroundHomozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is an inherited recessive condition associated with extremely high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in affected individuals.

Leukocyte low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) does not contribute to LDL clearance in vivo: bone marrow transplantation studies in the mouse

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1997
The targeted disruption of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene in mice results in accumulation of plasma LDL cholesterol and in predisposition to diet-induced aortic atherosclerosis.

Cholesteryl ester storage disease: complex molecular effects of chronic lovastatin therapy.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1992
To better characterize the in vivo effects of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibition on human lipid metabolism, an adolescent male with cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) was treated chronically with lovastatin ...
