ABNORMAL PARTICLE SIZE OF LIPOPROTEIN IN NON-INSULIN-DEPENDENT DIABETICS AND NONDIABETICS WITH AND WITHOUT HYPERLIPIDEMIA [PDF]
, 1991 To clarify the mechanism of the high incidence of ischemic heart disease in the diabetics, we studied the particle size of the lipoprotein with particular attention to the structural abnormality. Using high performance liquid chromatography, the particle

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.

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.

Influence of different fat emulsions with 10 or 20% MCT/LCT or LCT on lipoproteins in plasma of patients after abdominal surgery [PDF]
, 1998 In patients after elective abdominal surgery, different fat emulsions were used to compare their efficacy in total parenteral nutrition and in normalizing plasma lipoprotein levels.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Identification of the nucleotide sequence of the lipoprotein lipase gene as well as its role in the development of hyperlipidemia and pancreatitis in the Miniature Schnauzer [PDF]
, 2005 Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipid transport. It catalyses the hydrolysis of the triacylglycerol component of chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), providing non-esterified fatty acids for tissue utilization.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

The cholesterol-raising diterpenes from coffee beans increase serum lipid transfer protein activity levels in humans [PDF]
, 1997 Cafestol and kahweol–diterpenes present in unfiltered coffee— strongly raise serum VLDL and LDL cholesterol and slightly reduce HDL cholesterol in humans. The mechanism of action is unknown.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?
