Adipose tissue cholesteryl ester transfer protein mRNA in response to probucol treatment: cholesterol and species dependence

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
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]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2016
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.

Effect of a novel nutraceutical combination on serum lipoprotein functional profile and circulating PCSK9 [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: A beneficial effect on cardiovascular risk may be obtained by improving lipid-related serum lipoprotein functions such as high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and serum cholesterol loading capacity (CLC) and by ...

Bacterial expression and site-directed mutagenesis of a functional recombinant apolipoprotein.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
To facilitate structure-function studies of Manduca sexta apolipophorin III (apoLp-III), its nucleotide coding sequence was cloned from a fat body cDNA library by in vitro DNA amplification.

Hepatitis C virus relies on lipoproteins for its life cycle [PDF]

, 2016
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects over 150 million people worldwide. In most cases, HCV infection becomes chronic causing liver disease ranging from fibrosis to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Maternal obesity is associated with the formation of small dense LDL and hypoadiponectinemia in the third trimester [PDF]

, 2013
Context: Maternal obesity is associated with high plasma triglyceride, poor vascular function, and an increased risk for pregnancy complications. In normal-weight pregnant women, higher triglyceride is associated with increased small, dense low-density ...

Phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis is required for secretion of truncated apolipoprotein Bs from McArdle RH7777 cells only when a neutral lipid core is formed

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
Decreased phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis inhibits the secretion of very low density lipoproteins from hepatocytes (Yao, Z. and D. E. Vance. 1988. J. Biol. Chem. 263: 2998-3004).

Beneficial effects of reconstituted high-density lipoprotein (rHDL) on circulating CD34+ cells in patients after an acute coronary syndrome [PDF]

, 2017
Background: High-density lipoproteins (HDL) favorably affect endothelial progenitor cells (EPC). Circulating progenitor cell level and function are impaired in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Apolipoprotein distribution in human lipoproteins separated by polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988
The heterogeneity of serum lipoproteins (excluding very low density (VLDL) and intermediate density (IDL) lipoproteins) and that of lipoproteins secreted by HepG2 cells has been studied by immunoblot analysis of the apolipoprotein composition of the ...
