Inclisiran, Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Lipoprotein (a)
Dyslipidemia treatment is of major importance in reducing the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which is still the most common cause of death worldwide. During the last decade, a novel lipid-lowering drug category has emerged, i.e.,

Alternations of Lipoprotein Profiles in the Plasma as Biomarkers of Huntington’s Disease
Alterations in lipid composition and disturbed lipoprotein metabolism are involved in the pathomechanism of Huntington’s disease (HD). Here, we measured 112 lipoprotein subfractions and components in the plasma of 20 normal controls, 24 symptomatic ...

Background: Mechanisms by which chronic kidney disease (CKD) influences fibrin clot properties in atrial fibrillation (AF) remain ill-defined. We aimed to investigate the effects of AF and CKD on fibrin clot properties and lipoproteins, and determine the

Atorvastatin increases human serum levels of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has gained attention as a key regulator of serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. This novel protease causes the degradation of hepatic low density lipoprotein receptors. In humans,

Is hypertriglyceridemic very low density lipoprotein a precursor of normal low density lipoprotein?
The precursor-product relationship of very low density (VLDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) was studied. VLDL obtained from normal (NTG) and hypertriglyceridemic (HTG) subjects was fractionated by zonal ultracentrifugation and subjected to in vitro ...

High density lipoprotein metabolism in low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice1[S]
The LDL receptor (LDLR) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) play physiological roles in LDL and HDL metabolism in vivo. In this study, we explored HDL metabolism in LDLR-deficient mice in comparison with WT littermates.

Hyperlipidemia and arterial cholesterol accumulation are primary causes of cardiovascular events. Monogenic forms of hyperlipidemia and recent genome-wide association studies indicate that genetics plays an important role.

Combined data from LDL composition and size measurement are compatible with a discoid particle shape
The size of LDL is usually reported as particle diameter, with the implicit assumption that it is a spherical particle. On the other hand, data obtained by cryoelectron microscopy and crystallographic analysis suggest that LDL shape may be discoid.

The effect of eight weeks of 30-20-10 interval training on serum spexin levels and lipid profile in obese middle-aged men [PDF]
Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 30-20-10 interval training on the serum spexin level and lipid profile of obese men in order to measure the effect of physical activity on increasing spexin and improving ...

NMR-based quantification of human lipoprotein (sub)classes is a powerful high-throughput method for medical diagnostics. We evaluated select proton NMR signals of serum lipoproteins for elucidating the physicochemical features and the absolute NMR ...
