Activation of lipoprotein lipase by lipoprotein fractions of human serum
Triglycerides in fat emulsions are hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase only when they are “activated” by serum lipoproteins. The contribution of different lipoprotein fractions to hydrolysis of triglycerides in soybean oil emulsion was assessed by ...

Rapid method for the isolation of lipoproteins from human serum by precipitation with polyanions
Procedures are described for the isolation of lipoproteins from human serum by precipitation with polyanions and divalent cations. A mixture of low and very low density lipoproteins can be prepared without ultracentrifugation by precipitation with ...

Identification of a residue in hepatitis C virus E2 glycoprotein that determines scavenger receptor BI and CD81 receptor dependency and sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies. [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is dependent on at least three coreceptors: CD81, scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), and claudin-1. The mechanism of how these molecules coordinate HCV entry is unknown.

Blood rheology, cardiovascular risk factors, and cardiovascular disease: The West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study [PDF]
The West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS) showed that pravastatin reduced the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events in 6,595 middle-aged hypercholesterolaemic men aged 45-64 years without prior myocardial infarction followed for an ...

Phase and antigenic variation in mycoplasmas [PDF]
With their reduced genome bound by a single membrane, bacteria of the Mycoplasma species represent some of the simplest autonomous life forms. Yet, these minute prokaryotes are able to establish persistent infection in a wide range of hosts, even in the ...

Lipoproteins and lipoprotein metabolism in periodontal disease [PDF]
A growing body of evidence indicates that the incidence of atherosclerosis is increased in subjects with periodontitis - a chronic infection of the oral cavity. This article summarizes the evidence that suggests periodontitis shifts the lipoprotein profile to be more proatherogenic.

It is generally accepted that cholesterol-rich low density lipoproteins are more significantly associated with atherosclerotic disease than triglyceride-rich very low density lipoproteins. This paper addresses two aspects of the atherogenic potentials of

Large lipoproteins are excluded from the arterial wall in diabetic cholesterol-fed rabbits
In diabetic hypercholesterolemic rabbits at plasma triglyceride concentrations of approximately 5000 mg/dl, 55% of plasma cholesterol (1400 mg/dl) was in lipoproteins with diameters larger than 75 nm (Sf greater than 400), 40% in smaller very low density

Interaction of serum lipoproteins with the hydroperoxide of methyl linoleate*
The interaction of serum lipoproteins with the hydroperoxide of methyl linoleate was studied by means of analytical ultracentrifugal or paper electrophoretic analysis.
