Molecular simulation of discoidal HDL lipoprotein particles [PDF]
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) has been determined to play an essential role as an atheroprotective in atherosclerosis – the thickening and hardening of arteries. HDL particles are important delivery vehicles in the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) pathway wherein excess cholesterol is removed from peripheral tissues and transported to the liver for

Protein and cell therapy for lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency [PDF]
Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is an enzyme principally secreted by the liver into the circulation where it esterifies cholesterol and plays a key role in high- density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. In familial and acquired (liver disease)

Abstract Background Arterial stiffness is a crucial factor in determining an increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and can also predict the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and future CVD.

Apolipoprotein E delivery by peritoneal implantation of encapsulated recombinant cells improves the hyperlipidaemic profile in apoE-deficient mice [PDF]
Plasma apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a 34-kDa polymorphic protein which has atheroprotective actions by clearing remnant lipoproteins and sequestering excess cellular cholesterol.

Biophysical characterization of reactions associated with reverse cholesterol transport [PDF]
This thesis aimed at improving our understanding of reactions relevant in the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). RCT facilitates cholesterol homeostasis and is the most important pathway involved in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract Background There are limited data on the efficacy of smartphone‐based personal health records (PHRs) in patients with cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to examine the processes, outcomes and challenges associated with the implementation of integrated PHRs in patients with heart failure (HF) or coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods This

Acute inhibition of hepatic lipase and increase in plasma lipoproteins after alcohol intake.
Chronic alcohol intake is associated with an increase in fasting plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL). To study alcohol's acute effects on plasma lipoproteins, we measured plasma lipoprotein concentrations and activities of postheparin plasma lipases ...
