ApoE is necessary and sufficient for the binding of large triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to the LDL receptor; apoB is unnecessary.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1986
Large triglyceride-rich very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) Sf 60-400 from hypertriglyceridemic (HTG) patients, but not VLDL from normal subjects, bind to the LDL receptor of human skin fibroblasts because they contain apolipoprotein E (apoE) of the ...

Protein kinase C activation stabilizes LDL receptor mRNA via the JNK pathway in HepG2 cells*[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
LDL is the most abundant cholesterol transport vehicle in plasma and a major prognostic indicator of atherosclerosis. Hepatic LDL receptors limit circulating LDL levels, since cholesterol internalized by the liver can be excreted.

The anti-atherogenic effects of thiazolidinediones [PDF]

, 2007
The thiazolidinediones (TZDs) rosiglitazone (ROS) and pioglitazone (PIO) are insulin-sensitising agents widely used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thiazolidinediones significantly improve glycaemic control in diabetics by reduced

Low density lipoprotein metabolism in the normal to moderately elevated range of plasma cholesterol: comparisons with familial hypercholesterolemia

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism was investigated using a pulse injection of 125I-labeled LDL in 20 subjects who did not have familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (plasma cholesterol 160-297 mg/dl) and in 9 subjects who did have heterozygous FH ...

Multiple processes are involved in the uptake of chylomicron remnants by mouse peritoneal macrophages

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
The processes responsible for the uptake of chylomicron remnants by macrophages were investigated using freshly isolated cells from low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor and apolipoprotein E knockout mice ...

Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids. [PDF]

, 2010
Plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides are among the most important risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) and are targets for therapeutic ...

Chylomicron remnant uptake in the livers of mice expressing human apolipoproteins E3, E2 (Arg158→Cys), and E3-Leiden

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Apolipoprotein E2 (apoE2) and apoE3-Leiden cause chylomicron remnant accumulation (type III hyperlipidemia). However, the degree of dyslipidemia and its penetrance are different in humans and mice.

LDL transcytosis passes through the trans-Golgi network and requires Rab10

Journal of Lipid Research
Atherosclerosis begins with the subendothelial retention of LDLs from the circulation. While LDL transcytosis across the endothelium is mediated by scavenger receptor class B type I and activin-like kinase receptor 1 and is usually independent of LDL ...

Are endocannabinoid type 1 receptor gene (CNR1) polymorphisms associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal Polish women? [PDF]

, 2009
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether genetic variation at the cannabinoid receptor-1 (CNR1) locus could have an effect on adiposity, fat distribution and obesity-related metabolic disorders in Polish postmenopausal women.Design and ...
