Effects of superoxide anion attack on the lipoprotein HDL
AbstractHigh-density lipoprotein (HDL) is an anti-atherosclerotic lipoprotein. Thanks to the activity of apolipoprotein ApoA1, the principal protein component of HDL, this last is responsible for converting cholesterol into ester form and transporting excessive cholesterol to the liver (“reverse cholesterol transport” RCT). When HDL undergoes oxidation,

Arginine-directed glycation and decreased HDL plasma concentration and functionality [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Decreased plasma concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is a risk factor linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Decreased anti-atherogenic properties of HDL are also implicated in increased

The objectives of this study were to characterize the effects of plasma lipoproteins on prostacyclin (PGI2) production by the Langendorff-perfused rabbit heart, and to determine the mechanism of lipoprotein-induced cardiac PGI2 production.

High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Triglyceride and Oxidized HDL: New Lipid Biomarkers of Lipoprotein-Related Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
Lipid markers are well-established predictors of vascular disease. The most frequently measured lipid markers are total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride. HDL reduces atherosclerosis by multiple mechanisms, leading to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, and HDL-C, as a ...

Effect of animal and industrial trans fatty acids on HDL and LDL cholesterol levels in humans - a quantitative review [PDF]
Background: Trans fatty acids are produced either by industrial hydrogenation or by biohydrogenation in the rumens of cows and sheep. Industrial trans fatty acids lower HDL cholesterol, raise LDL cholesterol, and increase the risk of coronary heart ...

Isolation and characterization of human apolipoprotein M-containing lipoproteins
Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a novel apolipoprotein with unknown function. In this study, we established a method for isolating apoM-containing lipoproteins and studied their composition and the effect of apoM on HDL function.

Large-Scale Candidate Gene Analysis of HDL Particle Features [PDF]
Background: HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) is an established marker of cardiovascular risk with significant genetic determination. However, HDL particles are not homogenous, and refined HDL phenotyping may improve insight into regulation of HDL metabolism.

Plasma measurements of lipids, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins provide information on the static levels of these fractions without providing key information on the dynamic fluxes of lipoproteins in the circulation.

Relation of hyperlipidemia in serum and loss of high density lipoproteins in urine in the nephrotic syndrome [PDF]
The mechanism leading to hyperlipidemia in the nephrotic syndrome is not fully understood but may be related in part to loss of high density lipoproteins in the urine of patients with nephrosis.
