Previously, we have shown that lipid-free apoA-I, when incubated with fibroblasts, will produce lipoproteins of pre-α mobility (Asztalos, B. F., et al. 1997. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol. 17: 1630–1636). In order to understand the nature of these pre-

New more effective lipid-lowering therapies have made it important to accurately determine Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) at both high and low levels. LDL-C was measured by the β-quantification reference method (BQ) (N = 40,346) and compared

Aim. Plasma apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) activates lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and thus lowers plasma triglycerides (TG). We previously reported that a human apoC-II mimetic peptide (C-II-a) decreased plasma TG in apoC-II mutant mice, as well as in apoE ...

Lipoprotein Metabolism in Pregnancy
The purpose of this review is to consider the alterations occurring in lipoprotein metabolism in human pregnancy and in selected animal models and to attempt to understand the reasons for these changes and the possible significance for maternal physiology and fetal growth and development.

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

Influence of different fat emulsions with 10 or 20% MCT/LCT or LCT on lipoproteins in plasma of patients after abdominal surgery [PDF]
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.

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

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

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 ...
