Lipoprotein Nanoplatform for Targeted Delivery of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Agents

open access: yesMolecular Imaging, 2008
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) provides a highly versatile natural nanoplatform for delivery of visible or near-infrared fluorescent optical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents and photodynamic therapy and chemotherapeutic agents to ...

Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans contribute to intracellular lipid accumulation in adipocytes

open access: yesLipids in Health and Disease, 2005
Background Transport of fatty acids within the cytosol of adipocytes and their subsequent assimilation into lipid droplets has been thoroughly investigated; however, the mechanism by which fatty acids are transported across the plasma membrane from the ...

Isolation and characterization of two distinct species of human very low density lipoproteins lacking apolipoprotein E

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1996
We have isolated two fractions of very low density lipoprotein particles in human plasma that lack apolipoprotein (apo) E by combined anti-apoE and heparin affinity chromatography of whole plasma followed by ultracentrifugation.

Ganglioside embedded in reconstituted lipoprotein binds cholera toxin with elevated affinity[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
The ability to exogenously present cell-surface receptors in high-affinity conformations in a synthetic system offers an opportunity to provide host cells with protection from pathogenic toxins.

Is the atherosclerotic phenotype of preeclamptic placentas due to altered lipoprotein concentrations and placental lipoprotein receptors? Role of a small-for-gestational-age phenotype

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2013
Atherosis of spiral arteries in uteroplacental beds from preeclamptic women resemble those of atherosclerosis, characterized by increased plasma lipids and lipoproteins. We hypothesized that: 1) lipoprotein receptors/transporters in the placenta would be

Effect of pregnancy and lactation on lipoprotein and cholesterol metabolism in the rat

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1998
Origins of hyperlipidemia and cholestasis that occur during pregnancy were investigated by examining expression of key elements related to plasma and hepatic cholesterol metabolism during pregnancy, lactation, and post-lactation in the rat model.
