Loss of hepatic SMLR1 causes hepatosteatosis and protects against atherosclerosis due to decreased hepatic VLDL secretion

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The role of SMLR1 in lipid metabolism (high fat + cholesterol diet in mice) Abstract Background and Aims The assembly and secretion of VLDL from the liver, a pathway that affects hepatic and plasma lipids, remains incompletely understood. We set out to identify players in the VLDL biogenesis pathway by identifying genes that are co‐expressed with the ...

HVC1 ameliorates hyperlipidemia and inflammation in LDLR−/− mice [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2017
HVC1 consists of Coptidis Rhizoma (dried rhizome of Coptischinensis), Scutellariae Radix (root of Scutellariabaicalensis), Rhei Rhizoma (rhizome of Rheum officinale), and Pruni Cortex (cortex of Prunusyedoensis Matsum). Although the components are known to be effective in various conditions such as inflammation, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia ...

Common Mutations in LDLR Gene in Familial Hypercholesterolemia

open access: yesمجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گرگان, 2022
Background and Objective: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is one of the most common inherited familial diseases that cause lipid accumulation in tendons and arteries by increasing the level of low density plasma lipoprotein (LDL). The main cause of FH

Would raising the total cholesterol diagnostic cut-off from 7.5 mmol/L to 9.3 mmol/L improve detection rate of patients with monogenic familial hypercholesterolaemia? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A previous report suggested that 88% of individuals in the general population with total cholesterol (TC) > 9.3 mmol/L have familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH). We tested this hypothesis in a cohort of 4896 UK civil servants, mean (SD) age 44 (±6) years,

T Cells in Atherosclerosis in Ldlr-/- and Apoe-/- Mice [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Immunological Sciences, 2018
Atherosclerosis is the underlying basis for most cardiovascular diseases. It is a chronic inflammation affecting the arterial intima and is promoted by hypercholesterolemia. Cells of both the innate and adaptive immune systems contribute to this inflammation with macrophages and T cells being the most abundant immune cells in the atherosclerotic ...

Small Molecule Inhibitors of the PCSK9·LDLR Interaction [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2018
The protein-protein interaction between proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) is a relatively new, and extremely important, validated therapeutic target for treatment and prevention of heart disease. Experts in the area agree that the first small molecules to disrupt PCSK9·LDLR would represent
