Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Lipoprotein Metabolism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Plasma lipoproteins are responsible for carrying triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood and ensuring their delivery to target organs. Regulation of lipoprotein metabolism takes place at numerous levels including via changes in gene transcription.

The hepatic uptake of VLDL in lrp−ldlr−/−vldlr−/− mice is regulated by LPL activity and involves proteoglycans and SR-BI

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2008
LPL activity plays an important role in preceding the VLDL remnant clearance via the three major apolipoprotein E (apoE)-recognizing receptors: the LDL receptor (LDLr), LDL receptor-related protein (LRP), and VLDL receptor (VLDLr).

Quantification of apolipoprotein E receptors in human brain-derived cell lines by real-time polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Apolipoprotein (apo) E4 is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, compared to wild-type apoE3. The mechanism(s) is unknown.

A Role of the Bile Salt Receptor FXR in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This study reviews current insights into the role of bile salts and bile salt receptors on the progression and regression of atherosclerosis. Bile salts have emerged as important modifiers of lipid and energy metabolism.

Purification of the apolipoprotein B-67-containing low density lipoprotein particle and its affinity for the low density lipoprotein receptor.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1995
Naturally occurring mutant forms of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-100 may be able to provide valuable information on the structure-function relationships of apoB with the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor.

Lipoprotein Lipase Binds to Low Density Lipoprotein Receptors and Induces Receptor-mediated Catabolism of Very Low Density Lipoproteins [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1996
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the major enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of plasma triglycerides, promotes binding and catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins by various cultured cells. Recent studies demonstrate that LPL binds to three members of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family, including the LDL receptor-related protein (LRP),

Effect of Early Enteral Feeding on Apolipoprotein AI Levels and High-Density Lipoprotein Heterogeneity in Preterm Infants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Background/Aim: We have previously shown that infants receiving total parenteral nutrition have low apolipoprotein Al levels which are associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) class distributions as in lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase ...

Macrophage oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein occurs independently of its binding to the low density lipoprotein receptor

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1996
The oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDL) by arterial wall cells is thought to contribute to atherogenesis. Monocyte/macrophages, among other arterial wall cells, oxidatively modify LDL to a form that is recognized by scavenger ...

Changes in the Plasma Lipid Profile as a Potential Predictor of Clinical Outcome in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In 50 consecutive children admitted to the intensive care unit with the clinical diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (grade III or IV), 20 patients with mild DHF (grade I or II), and 20 healthy control patients, the plasma ...

Rapid initial removal of chylomicron remnants by the mouse liver does not require hepatically localized apolipoprotein E

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2000
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a ligand for the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP). The aim of the present study was to clarify the role of hepatically localized apoE in the rapid initial ...
