Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Lipoprotein Metabolism [PDF]
Plasma lipoproteins are responsible for carrying triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood and ensuring their delivery to target organs. Regulation of lipoprotein metabolism takes place at numerous levels including via changes in gene transcription.

ABNORMAL PARTICLE SIZE OF LIPOPROTEIN IN NON-INSULIN-DEPENDENT DIABETICS AND NONDIABETICS WITH AND WITHOUT HYPERLIPIDEMIA [PDF]
To clarify the mechanism of the high incidence of ischemic heart disease in the diabetics, we studied the particle size of the lipoprotein with particular attention to the structural abnormality. Using high performance liquid chromatography, the particle

Coronary artery endothelial dysfunction is positively correlated with low density lipoprotein and inversely correlated with high density lipoprotein subclass particles measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The association between cholesterol and endothelial dysfunction remains controversial. We tested the hypothesis that lipoprotein subclasses are associated with coronary endothelial dysfunction.

Studies of the structure and function of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) often require its purification by delipidation of high density lipoprotein isolated from large quantities of human plasma and separation of apoA-I from other plasma apolipoproteins.

Probucol treatment results in an increase in plasma concentrations of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) which may account, in part, for the effects of this agent on plasma concentrations of HDL cholesterol. We have examined the mechanism by which

Lipoprotein apheresis to treat elevated lipoprotein (a) [PDF]
An elevated plasma concentration of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Life style modification and currently available drugs either fail to effectively lower plasma Lp(a) levels or do not result in clinical benefit. However, lipoprotein apheresis is very efficient in decreasing Lp(a) concentrations.
