Pathophysiology of elevated ascites fluid cholesterol in malignant ascites [PDF]
The existence of marked elevations of ascitic fluid cholesterol has been observed in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis compared to patients with cirrhosis and has been found useful in differential diagnosis.

Regional distribution of body fat, plasma lipoproteins, and cardiovascular disease.
Several epidemiological studies have reported that the regional distribution of body fat is a significant and independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related mortality.

Frailty Exacerbates Disability in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Background To evaluate frailty in severe progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Methods This prospective, cross‐sectional, multicenter study enrolled a late severe PMS group requiring skilled nursing (n = 53) and an age, sex, and disease duration‐matched control PMS group (n = 53).

Lipoprotein metabolism in the suckling rat: characterization of plasma and lymphatic lipoproteins.
Suckling rat plasma contains (in mg/dl): chylomicrons (85 +/- 12); VLDL (50 +/- 6); LDL (200 +/- 23); HDL1 (125 +/- 20); and HDL2 (220 +/- 10), while lymph contains (in mg/dl): chylomicrons (9650 +/- 850) and VLDL (4570 +/- 435) and smaller amounts of ...

Modified Lipoproteins Induce Arterial Wall Inflammation During Atherogenesis
Circulating apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, notably the low-density lipoproteins, enter the inner layer of the arterial wall, the intima, where a fraction of them is retained and modified by proteases, lipases, and oxidizing agents and enzymes.

Lipoprotein apheresis to treat elevated lipoprotein (a) [PDF]
An elevated plasma concentration of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Life style modification and currently available drugs either fail to effectively lower plasma Lp(a) levels or do not result in clinical benefit. However, lipoprotein apheresis is very efficient in decreasing Lp(a) concentrations.

ABSTRACT Objective Plasma fibrinogen is essential in thrombosis and fibrinolysis, yet its dynamic changes pre‐ and post‐intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for predicting brain injury severity and prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients remain unclear.

Fatty acids of Helicobacter pylori lipoproteins CagT and Lpp20
Bacterial lipoproteins are post-translationally modified by the addition of acyl chains that anchor the protein to bacterial membranes. This modification includes two ester-linked and one amide-linked acyl chain on lipoproteins from Gram-negative ...

Isolation and Characterization of a Cellular Protein-Lipid Complex from Ascites Fluid Caused by Various Neoplasms [PDF]
High concentrations of lipids in ascites fluid caused by peritoneal carcinomatosis have been described recently. Since their nature has not yet been clarified, we isolated ascitic lipids from 25 patients with various neoplasms for further ...
