Characterization of hepatic low density lipoprotein binding and cholesterol metabolism in normal and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemic subjects [PDF]
, 1984 Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia have elevated levels of plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL), increased hepatic synthesis of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, defective binding of low density lipoproteins to fibroblasts, and ...

Reduction of circulating cholesterol and apolipoprotein levels during sepsis [PDF]
, 1999 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 ...

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein inhibits hepatitis C virus cell entry in human hepatoma cells. [PDF]
, 2006 Cell entry of hepatitis C virus, pseudoparticles (HCVpp) and cell culture grown virus (HCVcc), requires the interaction of viral glycoproteins with CD81 and other as yet unknown cellular factors.

An integrated mathematical model of cellular cholesterol biosynthesis and lipoprotein metabolism [PDF]
, 2018 Cholesterol regulation is an important aspect of human health. In this work we bring together and extend two recent mathematical models describing cholesterol biosynthesis and lipoprotein endocytosis to create an integrated model of lipoprotein ...

Estimating the level of carbamoylated plasma non-high-density lipoproteins using infrared spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2019 Background: The increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients can be partly explained by the presence of carbamoylated lipoproteins. Lipid profiles can be determined with infrared spectroscopy. In this

A new lipid-structured model to investigate the opposing effects of LDL and HDL on atherosclerotic plaque macrophages [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Atherosclerotic plaques form in artery walls due to a chronic inflammatory response driven by lipid accumulation. A key component of the inflammatory response is the interaction between monocyte-derived macrophages and extracellular lipid. Although concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in the blood

Apolipoprotein E: from cardiovascular disease to neurodegenerative disorders. [PDF]
, 2016 Apolipoprotein (apo) E was initially described as a lipid transport protein and major ligand for low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors with a role in cholesterol metabolism and cardiovascular disease.

Causal Models with Constraints [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Causal models have proven extremely useful in offering formal representations of causal relationships between a set of variables. Yet in many situations, there are non-causal relationships among variables. For example, we may want variables $LDL$, $HDL$, and $TOT$ that represent the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, the level of lipoprotein

Platelet interaction with bioactive lipids formed by mild oxidation of low-density lipoprotein [PDF]
, 2006 Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) generates pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic mediators that play a crucial role in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

Dynamical Model of Mild Atherosclerosis: Applied Mathematical Aspects [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease occurs due to plaque accumulation in the inner artery wall. In atherosclerotic plaque formation monocytes and macrophages play a significant role in controlling the disease dynamics. In the present article, the entire biochemical process of atherosclerotic plaque formation is presented in terms of an ...
