Lipoprotein lipase and obesity [PDF]
Obesity is one of the fast-growing major diseases in developed and developing countries. As has been persuasively argued, long-term imbalance between intake and expenditure of fat is a central factor in the etiology of obesity. Obesity aggravates insulin resistance and promotes cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis.

Characterization of pig skeletal muscle transcriptomes in response to low temperature
Low temperature changes the gene expression pattern and biological pathway in pig skeletal muscle. Under low temperature, biological pathways of lipid, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism; signal transduction; endocrine, immune, and nervous system; cardiovascular disease; infectious diseases caused by bacteria or viruses; and neurodegenerative ...

Lipoprotein-lipase responses to heparin [PDF]
Abstract Recent evidence suggests an interrelationship between platelets, heparin, and the lipolytic enzyme, lipoprotein-lipase. It seems likely that heparin might influence platelet adherence through its activation of lipoprotein-lipase. The mode of activation of the enzyme by heparin may, therefore, be important clinically.

HDL and plaque regression in a multiphase model of early atherosclerosis [PDF]
Atherosclerotic plaques are accumulations of cholesterol-engorged macrophages in the artery wall. Plaque growth is initiated and sustained by the deposition of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the artery wall. High density lipoproteins (HDL) counterbalance the effects of LDL by accepting cholesterol from macrophages and removing it from the plaque. In

Inheritance of high density lipoprotein and lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activity. [PDF]
The role of genetic and environmental factors in the regulation of plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) was estimated in 17 monozygotic (MZ) and 18 dizygotic (DZ) male twins randomly selected from the Finnish Twin Cohort Study. In addition to HDL cholesterol, we determined the HDL subfractions, HDL2 and HDL3, and the major HDL apoproteins (apo) A-I ...

Hypothesis review: Alzheimer's overture guidelines
Brain aging with ADNC and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) form a prevalent continuum unique to humans. Molecular changes affecting cell membranes, cytoskeleton, synapses, lipid and protein metabolism, energy metabolism, neuroinflammation, cell cycle, astrocytes, microglia, and blood vessels precede and occur in parallel with early ADNC; and they are

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum
Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.

Causal Models with Constraints [PDF]
Causal models have proven extremely useful in offering formal representations of causal relationships between a set of variables. Yet in many situations, there are non-causal relationships among variables. For example, we may want variables $LDL$, $HDL$, and $TOT$ that represent the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, the level of lipoprotein

What can one learn from two-state single molecule trajectories? [PDF]
A time trajectory of an observable that fluctuates between two values (say, on and off), stemming from some unknown multi-substate kinetic scheme, is the output of many single molecule experiments. Here we show that when all successive waiting times along the trajectory are uncorrelated the on and the off waiting time probability density functions ...
