Oxidized low-density lipoprotein inhibits hepatitis C virus cell entry in human hepatoma cells. [PDF]
Cell entry of hepatitis C virus, pseudoparticles (HCVpp) and cell culture grown virus (HCVcc), requires the interaction of viral glycoproteins with CD81 and other as yet unknown cellular factors.

A comparative study of the lipid panel levels at different duration time and temperature storage [PDF]
Background: the stability of serum specimen during time storage is importance in clinical and medical science researches in addition of diagnosis. Lipids are organic molecules that classified into 8 classes: fatty acids, phospholipids, glycerolipids, saccharolipids, polyketides, prenol lipids, sterol, and sphingolipids.

Cholesterol efflux capacity, high-density lipoprotein function, and atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND High-density lipoprotein (HDL) may provide cardiovascular protection by promoting reverse cholesterol transport from macrophages. We hypothesized that the capacity of HDL to accept cholesterol from macrophages would serve as a predictor of ...

A Simple Fluorescent Cholesterol Labeling Method to Cryoprotect and Detect Plasma Lipoprotein-X
Lipoprotein-X (LpX) are abnormal nephrotoxic lipoprotein particles enriched in free cholesterol and phospholipids. LpX with distinctive lipid compositions are formed in patients afflicted with either familial LCAT deficiency (FLD) or biliary cholestasis.

High expression of antioxidant proteins in dendritic cells: possible implications in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) display the unique ability to activate naive T cells and to initiate primary T cell responses revealed in DC-T cell alloreactions. DCs frequently operate under stress conditions. Oxidative stress enhances the production of inflammatory cytokines by DCs.

Lipoprotein(a) as a cardiovascular risk factor: current status
Aims The aims of the study were, first, to critically evaluate lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] as a cardiovascular risk factor and, second, to advise on screening for elevated plasma Lp(a), on desirable levels, and on therapeutic strategies.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...
