Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor is a member of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family. It binds triglyceride rich lipoprotein (TGRL) but not LDL, because it recognizes apolipoprotein (apo)E only but not apoB. The VLDL receptor functions as a peripheral lipoprotein receptor in concert with lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in heart ...

Effect of fasting on the composition of plasma lipoproteins in cholesterol-fed diabetic rabbits.
Cholesterol-fat feeding is associated with unusual alterations in the composition of plasma lipoproteins in alloxan-diabetic rabbits. In the present study plasma lipoprotein lipid and apoprotein composition was studied before and after 48 hr of fasting ...

METABOLISM OF VERY LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN (VLDL) BY HUMAN PLACENTA IN VITRO [PDF]
We investigated the potential role of maternal VLDL as a source of fatty acids (FA) for use by the fetus using isolated perfused human placenta. Recirculating fetal and maternal perfusions of 10 cm diameter portions of 5 term placentas were used to determine the fate of 3H-(FA)triolein (TG) incorporated into human VLDL.

The measurement of apolipoprotein B (apoB) in purified lipoproteins by immunological assays is subject to criticism because of denatured epitopes or immunoreactivity differences between purified lipoproteins and standard.

Adrenal Cell Aldosterone Production Is Stimulated by Very-Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) [PDF]
Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) are a class of large lipoprotein synthesized in the liver. The key function of VLDL, in vivo, is to carry triglyceride from the liver to adipose tissue. As a steroidogenic organ, the adrenal gland mainly uses lipoproteins as sources of cholesterol. Although VLDL receptors have been detected in the human adrenal, the

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 ...

VLDL-bound lipoprotein lipase facilitates the cholesteryl ester transfer protein-mediated transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL to VLDL [PDF]
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 ...

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.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) consist of lipid bilayers, occur in various biofluids, and are invaluable in biomarker screening. Liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was recently used to study comprehensive EV lipid ...

Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-induced signals mediating aldosterone production [PDF]
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.
