Relationship between lipoproteins, thrombosis and atrial fibrillation [PDF]
The prothrombotic state in atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs as a result of multifaceted interactions, known as Virchow’s triad of hypercoagulability, structural abnormalities, and blood stasis.

Polyacrylate adsorbents for the selective adsorption of cholesterol-rich lipoproteins from plasma or blood [PDF]
Polyacrylate (PAA) adsorbents selectively bind low density lipoproteins (LDL) from human plasma and blood, whereas very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) are only minimally adsorbed.

HDL and plaque regression in a multiphase model of early atherosclerosis [PDF]
Atherosclerotic plaques are accumulations of cholesterol-engorged macrophages in the artery wall. Plaque growth is initiated and sustained by the deposition of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the artery wall. High density lipoproteins (HDL) counterbalance the effects of LDL by accepting cholesterol from macrophages and removing it from the plaque. In

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.

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.

Lipid levels are inversely associated with infectious and all-cause mortality: international MONDO study results. [PDF]
Cardiovascular (CV) events are increased 36-fold in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, randomized controlled trials to lower LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and serum total cholesterol (TC) have not shown significant mortality improvements.

Hepatitis C virus production requires apolipoprotein A-I and affects its association with nascent low-density lipoproteins [PDF]
Background/aims The life cycle of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is intimately linked to the lipid metabolism of the host. In particular, HCV exploits the metabolic machinery of the lipoproteins in several steps of its life cycle such as circulation in the ...

Physicochemical Properties of Lipoproteins Assessed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance as a Predictor of Premature Cardiovascular Disease. PRESARV-SEA Study [PDF]
Some lipoprotein disorders related to the residual risk of premature cardiovascular disease (PCVD) are not detected by the conventional lipid profile. In this case-control study, the predictive power of PCVD of serum sdLDL-C, measured using a lipoprotein

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.

Plasma lipoprotein metabolism in transgenic mice overexpressing apolipoprotein E. Accelerated clearance of lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein B. [PDF]
We have reported that transgenic mice overexpressing rat apo E shows marked reduction of plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels due to the disappearance of VLDL and LDL.
