Ex VivoMeasurement of Lipoprotein Lipase-Dependent Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL)-Triglyceride Hydrolysis in Human VLDL: An Alternative to the Postheparin Assay of Lipoprotein Lipase Activity?1 [PDF]
The plasma lipolysis of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins is mainly due to the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL). Albeit important for our analysis of certain physiopathological situations, the determination of the magnitude of LPL-dependent lipolysis is not easy to perform.

Phospholipids in lipoproteins: compositional differences across VLDL, LDL, and HDL in pregnant women [PDF]
The aim of this study was to analyse the differences in the phospholipid composition of very low density (VLDL), low density (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) monolayers in pregnant lean and obese women.LDL, HDL, and VLDL were isolated from plasma samples of 10 lean and 10 obese pregnant women, and their species composition of ...

Proteomic Analysis of the Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) transport vesicles [PDF]
The VLDL transport vesicle (VTV) mediates the transport of nascent VLDL particles from the ER to the Golgi and plays a key role in VLDL-secretion from the liver. The functionality of VTV is controlled by specific proteins; however, full characterization and proteomic profiling of VTV remain to be carried out. Here, we report the first proteomic profile

The very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor is a member of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that VLDL receptor binds triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins but not LDL, and functions as a peripheral remnant lipoprotein receptor.

Deficiency of the Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) Receptors in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats: Insulin Dependency of the VLDL Receptor [PDF]
AbstractHyperlipidemia is a common feature of diabetes and is related to cardiovascular disease. The very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDL-R) is a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) family. It binds and internalizes triglyceride-rich lipoproteins with high specificity.

The atherogenic lipoprotein Lp(a) is internalized and degraded in a process mediated by the VLDL receptor. [PDF]
Lp(a) is a major inherited risk factor associated with premature heart disease and stroke. The mechanism of Lp(a) atherogenicity has not been elucidated, but likely involves both its ability to influence plasminogen activation as well as its atherogenic potential as a lipoprotein particle after receptor-mediated uptake.

Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) Receptor-deficient Mice Have Reduced Lipoprotein Lipase Activity [PDF]
Although very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor (VLDLr) knockout mice have been reported to have no lipoprotein abnormalities, they develop less adipose tissue than control mice when fed a high calorie diet. Mice that are deficient in adipose tissue expression of lipoprotein lipase (LpL) also have less fat, but only when crossed with ob/ob mice ...

Human CD36 is a high affinity receptor for the native lipoproteins HDL, LDL, and VLDL [PDF]
Mouse and hamster SR-BI glycoproteins and their putative human counterpart CLA-I are so far the only scavenger receptors known to bind both native and modified lipoproteins. CD36, a multigland glycoprotein structurally related to SR-BI and CLA-1, has been reported to bind oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and acetylated LDL (AcLDL).

VLDL (Very-Low-Density Lipoprotein)-Apo E (Apolipoprotein E) May Influence Lp(a) (Lipoprotein [a]) Synthesis or Assembly [PDF]
Objective: To clarify the association between PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) and Lp(a) (lipoprotein [a]), we studied Lp(a) kinetics in patients with loss-of-function and gain-of-function PCSK9 mutations and in patients in whom extended-release niacin reduced Lp(a)

Membrane receptors for very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) inhibitor of lymphocyte proliferation [PDF]
Abstract Physiologic concentrations of human plasma very low density lipoproteins inhibit the DNA synthesis of lymphocytes stimulated by allogeneic cells or lectins. In this report we have compared the effects of isolated lipoproteins [very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), and high density lipoproteins ...
