LIPOPROTEIN APHERESIS: YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW. REVIEW

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2018
The first attempts to treat patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HCH) were performed in the 60ies and 70ies using a total plasma exchange. Later on, more specific lipoprotein apheresis (LA) methods have been developed – the replacement

A comparative study of the lipid panel levels at different duration time and temperature storage [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
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.

HELP LDL apheresis reduces plasma pentraxin 3 in familial hypercholesterolemia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND:Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a key component of the humoral arm of innate immunity, is secreted by vascular cells in response to injury, possibly aiming at tuning arterial activation associated with vascular damage.

Lipoprotein(a) – Marker for cardiovascular risk and target for lipoprotein apheresis

Atherosclerosis Supplements, 2019
Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) consists of an LDL particle whose apolipoprotein B (apoB) is covalently bound to apolipoprotein(a) (apo[a]). An increased Lp(a) concentration is a causal, independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and a predictor of incident or recurrent cardiovascular events. Although Lp(a) was first described as

High expression of antioxidant proteins in dendritic cells: possible implications in atherosclerosis [PDF]

Mol Cell Proteomics 5 (04/2006) 726-36, 2006
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.

Successful Treatment Of Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Using Cascade Filtration Plasmapheresis

Turkish Journal of Hematology, 2012
OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study is to discuss the efficacy of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) apheresis procedure using the cascade filtration system for pediatric patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), and to clarify ...

Geometric and Electromagnetic Aspects of Fusion Pore Making [PDF]

Systems Biology 2 (2011), pp. 505-538, 2009
For regulated exocytosis, we model the morphology and dynamics of the making of the fusion pore or porosome as a cup-shaped lipoprotein structure (a dimple or pit) on the cytosol side of the plasma membrane. We describe the forming of the dimple by a free boundary problem.

A new lipid-structured model to investigate the opposing effects of LDL and HDL on atherosclerotic plaque macrophages [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Atherosclerotic plaques form in artery walls due to a chronic inflammatory response driven by lipid accumulation. A key component of the inflammatory response is the interaction between monocyte-derived macrophages and extracellular lipid. Although concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in the blood

Population Pharmacokinetics and Exposure‐Response Modeling for Evinacumab in Children, Adolescents, and Adults With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evinacumab, an angiopoietin‐like 3 (ANGPTL3) inhibitor, significantly reduces low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C), independent of low‐density lipoprotein receptor, in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). A population pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) model was previously developed to characterize ...

Ramadan Fasting Model Exerts Hepatoprotective, Anti-obesity, and Anti-Hyperlipidemic Effects in an Experimentally-induced Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver in Rats [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Background: The epidemic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its metabolic effects present a serious public health concern. We hypothesized that the Ramadan fasting model (RFM), which involves fasting from dawn to dusk for a month, could provide potential therapeutic benefits and mitigate NAFLD.
