Plasma proteome correlates of lipid and lipoprotein: biomarkers of metabolic diversity and inflammation in children of rural Nepal. [PDF]
Proteins involved in lipoprotein metabolism can modulate cardiovascular health. While often measured to assess adult metabolic diseases, little is known about the proteomes of lipoproteins and their relation to metabolic dysregulation and underlying ...

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.

Thoroughly analysis of the phase diagram for the Bell-Lavis model: An entropic simulational study [PDF]
In this work, we investigate the Bell-Lavis model using entropic simulations for several values of the energy parameters. The $T\times\mu$ phase diagram and the ground state configurations are analyzed thoroughly. Besides, we examine the particle density and specific heat behavior for different values of the chemical potential $\mu$ as functions of ...

HDL and LDL: Potential New Players in Breast Cancer Development. [PDF]
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer and primary cause of cancer-related mortality in women. The identification of risk factors can improve prevention of cancer, and obesity and hypercholesterolemia represent potentially modifiable breast cancer ...

Doped graphene oxide functionalization strategy for synthesis of nanocomposite membranes: electrospun coatings in biomedical field application [PDF]
An electrospun membrane for vascular stent coating made of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine and butyl methacrylate copolymer (MPC-co-BMA), also known as (PMB), reinforced with functionalized and nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide (f-NrGO) is presented.

A Two-Phase Model of Early Atherosclerotic Plaque Development with LDL Toxicity Effects [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory cardiovascular disease in which fatty plaque is built inside an artery wall. Early atherosclerotic plaque development is typically characterized by inflammatory tissues primarily consisting of foam cells and macrophages.

A simple method to assess the oxidative susceptibility of low density lipoproteins [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDL) is recognized as one of the major processes involved in atherogenesis. The in vitro standardized measurement of LDL oxidative susceptibility could thus be of clinical significance.

Effect of hypertension on low-density lipoprotein transport within a multi-layered arterial wall: modelling consistent with experiments [PDF]
The influence of hypertension on low-density lipoproteins intake into the arterial wall is an important factor for understanding mechanisms of atherosclerosis. It has been experimentally observed that the increased pressure leads to the higher level of the LDL inside the wall.
