Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on synthesis of cholesterol and bile acids in healthy subjects [PDF]

, 2004
Background/Aims: Ursodeoxycholic acid ( UDCA) decreases biliary secretion of cholesterol and is therefore used for the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones.

Lipoprotein metabolism in experimental nephrosis

Journal of Lipid Research, 1984
In experimental nephrosis, a decrease in plasma albumin resulting from proteinuria causes a decreased in the plasma oncotic pressure. The existence of an osmoreceptor, which responds to the low oncotic pressure and produces a factor(s) that signals the liver to increase the secretion of plasma proteins, is postulated.

Genetic obesity increases pancreatic expression of mitochondrial proteins which regulate cholesterol efflux in BRIN-BD11 insulinoma cells [PDF]

, 2019
Pancreatic β-cells are sensitive to fluctuations in cholesterol content, which can damage the insulin secretion pathway, contributing to the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Antioxidants and lipoprotein metabolism [PDF]

Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 1999
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 ...

Increased plasma cholesterol esterification by LCAT reduces diet-induced atherosclerosis in SR-BI knockout mice[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
LCAT, a plasma enzyme that esterifies cholesterol, has been proposed to play an antiatherogenic role, but animal and epidemiologic studies have yielded conflicting results.

Identification of Dysbetalipoproteinemia by an Enhanced Sampson-NIH Equation for Very Low-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Dysbetalipoproteinemia (hyperlipoproteinemia type III, HLP3) is a genetic disorder that results in the accumulation of cholesterol on highly atherogenic remnant particles. Traditionally, the diagnosis of HLP3 depended upon lipoprotein gel electrophoresis

Lipoproteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis : an abundant and functionally diverse class of cell envelope components [PDF]

, 2004
Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains the predominant bacterial scourge of mankind. Understanding of its biology and pathogenicity has been greatly advanced by the determination of whole genome sequences for this organism.

Differential response to low-fat diet between low and normal HDL-cholesterol subjects

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
: Heart attacks frequently occur in normolipidemic subjects with low concentration of high density lipoproteins (≤35 mg/dL). A low-fat diet is generally recommended to patients with coronary heart disease.

Dietary fish oil enriched in very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid reduces cardiometabolic risk factors and improves retinal function

iScience, 2023
Summary: Very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs; C24-38) constitute a unique class of PUFA that have important biological roles, but the lack of a suitable dietary source has limited research in this field.

The role of metformin response in lipid metabolism in patients with recent-onset type 2 diabetes: HbA1c level as a criterion for designating patients as responders or nonresponders to metformin [PDF]

, 2016
Background: In this study, we investigated whether response to metformin, the most frequently drug for diabetes treatment, influences the therapeutic effects of antilipidemic medication in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM ...
