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

Causes and Consequences of Hypertriglyceridemia
Elevations in plasma triglyceride are the result of overproduction and impaired clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins—very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and chylomicrons. Hypertriglyceridemia is characterized by an accumulation in the circulation

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.

Inactivation of ANGPTL3 reduces hepatic VLDL-triglyceride secretion1[S]
Humans and mice lacking angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) have pan-hypolipidemia. ANGPTL3 inhibits two intravascular lipases, LPL and endothelial lipase, and the low plasma TG and HDL-cholesterol levels in ANGPTL3 deficiency reflect increased ...

A missense mutation (E167K) in TM6SF2 (transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2), a polytopic protein of unknown function, is associated with the full spectrum of fatty liver disease. To investigate the role of TM6SF2 in hepatic triglyceride (TG) metabolism,

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 ...

Increased levels of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins, such as low density lipoproteins (LDL) and chylomicron remnants, are associated with the development of atherosclerosis.

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.
