Antioxidants and lipoprotein metabolism [PDF]
Lipoprotein metabolism plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and risk of vascular disease. Elevated levels of LDL and low levels of HDL are linked to the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is now widely accepted that oxidative modification of LDL affects the metabolism of lipoproteins, leading to their increased accumulation ...

Impact of protein glycosylation on lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis [PDF]
Protein glycosylation is a post-translational modification consisting of the enzymatic attachment of carbohydrate chains to specific residues of the protein sequence.

Transgelin: a new gene involved in LDL endocytosis identified by a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen
A significant proportion of patients with elevated LDL and a clinical presentation of familial hypercholesterolemia do not carry known genetic mutations associated with hypercholesterolemia, such as defects in the LDL receptor.

The heterogeneity of serum lipoproteins (excluding very low density (VLDL) and intermediate density (IDL) lipoproteins) and that of lipoproteins secreted by HepG2 cells has been studied by immunoblot analysis of the apolipoprotein composition of the ...

Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Lipoprotein Metabolism [PDF]
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.

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

An immunochemical marker of low density lipoprotein oxidation.
Using monoclonal antibodies against apolipoprotein B (apoB) we studied changes in apoB immunoreactivity during copper ion-mediated oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL).

Protein polymorphism of a human plasma apolipoprotein D antigenic epitope.
Based on our previous observation that monoclonal antibody anti-apoD-4E11 reacted with several HDL proteins we studied them further with three questions in mind: i) is there common protein polymorphism in healthy individuals?

Familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency (FLD) is a rare genetic disease characterized by low HDL‐C levels, low plasma cholesterol esterification, and the formation of Lipoprotein‐X (Lp‐X), an abnormal cholesterol‐rich lipoprotein ...
