Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Lipoprotein Metabolism [PDF]

open access: yesPPAR Research, 2008
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.

Impact of protein glycosylation on lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Protein glycosylation is a post-translational modification consisting of the enzymatic attachment of carbohydrate chains to specific residues of the protein sequence.

Conjugated linoleic acid supplementation, insulin sensitivity, and lipoprotein metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
BACKGROUND: Some animal studies have suggested that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation may have therapeutic potential with respect to insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism, which are important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors ...

Genome-wide association study of genetic determinants of LDL-c response to atorvastatin therapy: importance of Lp(a)

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2012
We carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of LDL-c response to statin using data from participants in the Collaborative Atorvastatin Diabetes Study (CARDS; n = 1,156), the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT; n = 895), and the ...

Effect of a high intake of conjugated linoleic acid on lipoprotein levels in healthy human subjects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background -Trans fatty acids are produced either by industrial hydrogenation or by biohydrogenation in the rumens of cows and sheep. Industrial trans fatty acids lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL ...

Dydrogesterone and norethisterone regulate expression of lipoprotein lipase and hormones-sensitive lipase in human subcutaneous abdominal adipocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Aim: In premenopausal women, hyper-androgenicity is associated with central obesity and an increased cardiovascular risk. We investigated the effects of dydrogesterone (DYD)(a non-androgenic progestogen) and norethisterone (NET)(an androgenic progestogen)

Mathematical model for low density lipoprotein (LDL) endocytosis by hepatocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Individuals with elevated levels of plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) are considered to be at risk of developing coronary heart disease.

A Role of the Bile Salt Receptor FXR in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This study reviews current insights into the role of bile salts and bile salt receptors on the progression and regression of atherosclerosis. Bile salts have emerged as important modifiers of lipid and energy metabolism.

Plasma lipoproteins: apolipoprotein structure and function.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1984
Plasma lipoprotein metabolism is regulated and controlled by the specific apolipoprotein (apo-) constituents of the various lipoprotein classes. The major apolipoproteins include apoE, apoB, apoA-I, apoA-II, apoA-IV, apoC-I, apoC-II, and apoC-III ...

Dietary medium chain fatty acid supplementation leads to reduced VLDL lipolysis and uptake rates in comparison to linoleic acid supplementation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Dietary medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) and linoleic acid follow different metabolic routes, and linoleic acid activates PPAR receptors. Both these mechanisms may modify lipoprotein and fatty acid metabolism after dietary intervention.
