Hepatitis C virus relies on lipoproteins for its life cycle [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects over 150 million people worldwide. In most cases, HCV infection becomes chronic causing liver disease ranging from fibrosis to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Adsorption of High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) on Solid Surfaces [PDF]
The adsorption of high density lipoproteins (HDL) on polyethylene (PE), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly(HEMA)), polyesterurethane (PU), Biomer, and mica surfaces was studied. The adsorption of HDL from a single protein solution and a plasma solution on the surfaces showed that the amount of adsorbed HDL was not related to the hydrophobicity (or

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 ...

Metabolismus und Funktion der Lipoproteine hoher Dichte (HDL)
Zusammenfassung. HDL wurde lange Zeit als das «gute Cholesterin» angesehen, das für die Gesundheit des Gesamtorganismus und speziell des kardiovaskulären Systems essenziell ist. HDL ist jedoch komplex aufgebaut und durchläuft dynamische Umbauprozesse, an dem zahlreiche Komponenten, Enzyme und verschiedene Gewebe beteiligt sind.

Reconstituted high-density lipoproteins promote wound repair and blood flow recovery in response to ischemia in aged mice [PDF]
Background: The average population age is increasing and the incidence of age-related vascular complications is rising in parallel. Impaired wound healing and disordered ischemia-mediated angiogenesis are key contributors to age-impaired vascular ...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism and bone mass [PDF]
It is well appreciated that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and bone physiology and pathology are tightly linked. Studies, primarily in mouse models, have shown that dysfunctional and/or disturbed HDL can affect bone mass through many different ways.

High-density lipoproteins (HDL): Novel function and therapeutic applications
The failure of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-raising agents to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) together with recent findings of increased cardiovascular mortality in subjects with extremely high HDL-cholesterol levels provide new opportunities to revisit our view of HDL. The concept of HDL function developed to explain these contradictory findings

Differential Effects of Lipid-lowering Drugs in Modulating Morphology of Cholesterol Particles. [PDF]
Treatment of dyslipidemia patients with lipid-lowering drugs leads to a significant reduction in low-density lipoproteins (LDL) level and a low to moderate level of increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in plasma.
