Roles of reconstituted high-density lipoprotein nanoparticles in cardiovascular disease: A new paradigm for drug discovery [PDF]
Epidemiological results revealed that there is an inverse correlation between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and risks of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

In addition to pathogenic autoantibodies, polyclonal autoantibodies with unknown physiological roles and pathogenicity are produced in the body. Moreover, serum antibodies against the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) protein, which ...

Glycaemic effects of non-statin lipid-lowering therapies [PDF]
Since the publication of the JUPITER trial, attention has been focused on the adverse glycemic effects of statin therapy. Although the modest increase in the risk of new diabetes mellitus is outweighed by the reduction in cardiovascular events for ...

annually in Europe, 4 million people die from cardiovascular diseases, the main cause of which is atherosclerosis. In order to slow down the development of atherosclerotic plaques, the main therapeutic goal is to lower LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) level. Undoubtedly, statins are the basis of lipid-lowering therapy for many years.

The 1(st) and the 2(nd) Italian Consensus Conferences on low-density lipoprotein-apheresis. A practical synopsis and update [PDF]
The clinical indications and guidelines for low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-apheresis set by the 1(st) Italian Consensus Conference held in Ostuni in 1990 and completed in 1992, but never published, are reported schematically.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase c-IAP1 regulates PCSK9-mediated LDLR degradation: Linking the TNF-α pathway to cholesterol uptake [PDF]
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), in addition to LDLR (low-density lipoprotein receptor) and APOB (apolipoprotein B), is one of three loci implicated in autosomal dominant hypercholesterolaemia (ADH)^1^.

Natriuretic Peptides in the Cardiovascular System. Multifaceted Roles in Physiology, Pathology and Therapeutics [PDF]
The natriuretic peptides (NPs) family includes a class of hormones and their receptors needed for the physiological control of cardiovascular functions. The discovery of NPs provided a fundamental contribution into our understanding of the physiological ...

PCSK9 inhibitors for hypercholesterolaemia [PDF]
New drugs, old problems Statins (hydroxymethyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors) reduce “bad” low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations and cardiovascular risk. So too, do better diet and more exercise, which together almost halve rates of coronary event rates when compared with an “unfavourable lifestyle.”3 For some people ...
