Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (cyp7) is the rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid biosynthesis. Previously, dietary cholesterol was shown to induce cyp7 gene expression. However, recent studies have produced data that are inconsistent with this observation,

Roles of reconstituted high-density lipoprotein nanoparticles in cardiovascular disease: A new paradigm for drug discovery [PDF]
Epidemiological results revealed that there is an inverse correlation between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and risks of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

We previously reported that the expression of an epitope of apolipoprotein B (apoB), mapped to the C-terminus and defined by antibody Bsol7, increased during Cu2(+)-mediated oxidation of isolated low density lipoprotein (LDL).

Apolipoprotein Mimetic Peptides: Potential New Therapies for Cardiovascular Diseases
Since the seminal breakthrough of treating diabetic patients with insulin in the 1920s, there has been great interest in developing other proteins and their peptide mimetics as therapies for a wide variety of other medical disorders. Currently, there are

Apolipoprotein E and Atherosclerosis: From Lipoprotein Metabolism to MicroRNA Control of Inflammation. [PDF]
Apolipoprotein (apo) E stands out among plasma apolipoproteins through its unprecedented ability to protect against atherosclerosis. Although best recognized for its ability to mediate plasma lipoprotein clearance in the liver and protect against ...

Hypersecretion of VLDL, but not HDL, by hepatocytes from the JCR:LA-corpulent rat.
The JCR:LA-corpulent male rat, when homozygous for the cp gene (cp/cp) is hyperlipidemic and prone to atherosclerosis. Both male and female cp/cp rats have markedly elevated serum levels of triacylglycerols and phospholipids [Dolphin, P.J. et al.

Identification of a residue in hepatitis C virus E2 glycoprotein that determines scavenger receptor BI and CD81 receptor dependency and sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies. [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is dependent on at least three coreceptors: CD81, scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), and claudin-1. The mechanism of how these molecules coordinate HCV entry is unknown.
