Journal of Lipid Research, 1991 Previous studies have shown that very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) from patients with Tangier disease are less effective as a substrate for human milk lipoprotein lipase (LPL) than VLDL from normal controls as assessed by measuring the first order ...

Effect of hypertension on low-density lipoprotein transport within a multi-layered arterial wall: modelling consistent with experiments [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 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.

VLDL-bound lipoprotein lipase facilitates the cholesteryl ester transfer protein-mediated transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL to VLDL [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 1999 In recent years, it has been established that lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is partly associated with circulating lipoproteins. This report describes the effects of physiological amounts of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-bound LPL on the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)-mediated cholesteryl ester transfer (CET) from high density lipoprotein ...

The Role of Magnesium in Liver Cirrhosis
Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, crucial for physiological functions. Its deficiency, common in liver cirrhosis patients, correlates with poor outcomes by affecting inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and immunity. This review explores magnesium's role in cirrhosis and its interaction with disease mechanisms.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988 Interactions of high density lipoproteins (HDL) with very low (VLDL) and low (LDL) density lipoproteins were investigated during in vitro lipolysis in the presence of limited free fatty acid acceptor.

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2004 Introduction Oxidative stress has been demonstrated in malaria. The potential oxidative modification of lipoproteins derived from malaria patients was studied. These oxidized lipids may have role in pathogenesis of malaria.

Modelling the inflammatory process in atherosclerosis: a nonlinear renewal equation [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We present here a population structured model to describe the dynamics of macrophage cells. The model involves the interactions between modified LDL, monocytes/macrophages, cytokines and foam cells. The key assumption is that the individual macrophage dynamics depends on the amount of lipoproteins it has internalized.

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 Apolipoprotein E (apoE) associates with lipoproteins and mediates their interaction with members of the LDL receptor family. ApoE exists as three common isoforms that have important distinct functional and biological properties.

Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-induced signals mediating aldosterone production [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2017 Aldosterone, secreted by the adrenal zona glomerulosa, enhances sodium retention, thus increasing blood volume and pressure. Excessive production of aldosterone results in high blood pressure and contributes to cardiovascular and renal disease, stroke and visual loss.
