In preeclampsia, maternal third trimester subcutaneous adipocyte lipolysis is more resistant to suppression by insulin than in healthy pregnancy [PDF]
Obesity increases preeclampsia risk, and maternal dyslipidemia may result from exaggerated adipocyte lipolysis. We compared adipocyte function in preeclampsia with healthy pregnancy to establish whether there is increased lipolysis.

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.

Reduced lysosomal acid lipase activity: A new marker of liver disease severity across the clinical continuum of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? [PDF]
Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) plays a key role in intracellular lipid metabolism. Reduced LAL activity promotes increased multi-organ lysosomal cholesterol ester storage, as observed in two recessive autosomal genetic diseases, Wolman disease and ...

Deficient Cholesterol Esterification in Plasma of apoc2 Knockout Zebrafish and Familial Chylomicronemia Patients. [PDF]
Hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Apolipoprotein C-II (APOC2) is an obligatory cofactor for lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the major enzyme catalyzing plasma triglyceride hydrolysis.

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 ...

The acidic domain of the endothelial membrane protein GPIHBP1 stabilizes lipoprotein lipase activity by preventing unfolding of its catalytic domain. [PDF]
GPIHBP1 is a glycolipid-anchored membrane protein of capillary endothelial cells that binds lipoprotein lipase (LPL) within the interstitial space and shuttles it to the capillary lumen.

Reduction of circulating cholesterol and apolipoprotein levels during sepsis [PDF]
Sepsis with multiple organ failure is frequently associated with a substantial decrease of cholesterol levels. This decrease of cholesterol is strongly associated with mortality suggesting a direct relation between inflammatory conditions and altered ...

Therapy of Canine Hyperlipidemia with Bezafibrate. [PDF]
BackgroundBezafibrate (BZF) is effective in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia in human patients, but there are no data on its use in dogs.ObjectiveTo assess the safety of BZF in hyperlipidemic dogs and its efficacy in decreasing serum triglyceride ...

3D Bioprinting of Thick Adipose Tissues with Integrated Vascular Hierarchies
An advanced 3D bioprinting technique is used here to create thick adipose tissues with a central, vessel and extensive branching. The construct is made using alginate, gelatin and collagen‐based bioinks. Flow through the complex vessel network is demonstrated as well as its successful integration with a femoral artery following implantation in a rat ...

Gene-environment interactions due to quantile-specific heritability of triglyceride and VLDL concentrations. [PDF]
"Quantile-dependent expressivity" is a dependence of genetic effects on whether the phenotype (e.g., triglycerides) is high or low relative to its distribution in the population.
