The inconspicuous health benefit of blood donation

Global Journal of Transfusion Medicine, 2020
Background and Objectives: Regular blood donations seem to be beneficial to the health of donors in many ways. There is evidence to suggest that blood donation lowers blood viscosity and alters lipid profile, which is an acceptable parameter for ...

Low density lipoproteins in atherosclerosis.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988
Low density lipoproteins (LDL) have long been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Perhaps the most convincing evidence that these lipoproteins are causative factors in this disease is the genetic disorder, familial hypercholesterolemia, in which homozygous patients develop massive LDL concentrations and frequently die within the second ...

Non-oxidative modification of native low-density lipoprotein by oxidized low-density lipoprotein [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1996
The oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, although little is known as yet about the precise mechanism of oxidation in vivo. The studies presented here demonstrate that, in the absence of cells or transition metals, oxidized LDL can modify native LDL through co-incubation in ...

Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptors

, 1991
The origins of the receptor theory are based on the work of Paul Ehrlich (1854–1915) and John Newport Langley (1852–1925) (Parascandola 1981), who were the first to postulate that specific cellular reactions to drugs must be based on so-called receptive substances.

Low density lipoprotein misfolding and amyloidogenesis

The FASEB Journal, 2008
In early atherogenesis, subendothelial retention of lipidic droplets is associated with an inflammatory response-to-injury, culminating in the formation of foam cells and plaque. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is the main constituent of subendothelial lipidic droplets. The process is believed to occur following LDL modification. Searching for a modified

Lipids and Lipoproteins in Health and Disease: Focus on Targeting Atherosclerosis

Biomedicines, 2021
Despite advances in pharmacotherapy, intervention devices and techniques, residual cardiovascular risks still cause a large burden on public health. Whilst most guidelines encourage achieving target levels of specific lipids and lipoproteins to reduce ...

Cysteamine Decreases Low‐Density Lipoprotein Oxidation, Causes Regression of Atherosclerosis, and Improves Liver and Muscle Function in Low‐Density Lipoprotein Receptor–Deficient Mice

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background We have shown previously that low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) can be oxidized in the lysosomes of macrophages, that this oxidation can be inhibited by cysteamine, an antioxidant that accumulates in lysosomes, and that this drug decreases ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

From omics to AI—mapping the pathogenic pathways in type 2 diabetes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Integrating multi‐omics data with AI‐based modelling (unsupervised and supervised machine learning) identify optimal patient clusters, informing AI‐driven accurate risk stratification. Digital twins simulate individual trajectories in real time, guiding precision medicine by matching patients to targeted therapies.
