Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase: role of N-linked glycosylation in enzyme function.
Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT; phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase, EC 2.3.1.43) is a glycoprotein which is responsible for the formation of cholesteryl ester in plasma. The carbohydrate content has been estimated to be approx. 25% of

Isolation and properties of porcine lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase.
Lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT, phosphatidylcholine: sterol O-acyltransferase, EC 2.3.1.43) was purified approximately 20 000-fold from pig plasma by ultracentrifugation, phenyl-Sepharose and hydroxyapatite chromatography.

Diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer using a combined protein biomarker panel
An early detection tool for EOC was constructed from analysis of biomarker expression data from serum collected during the UKCTOCS. This study included 49 EOC cases (19 Type I and 30 Type II) and 31 controls, representing 482 serial samples spanning ...

Sex and hormonal status influence plasma lipid responses to psyllium.
BACKGROUND The primary mechanisms by which soluble fiber lowers plasma cholesterol are well known. However, specific effects of fiber on lipoprotein metabolism and how sex and hormonal status influence these effects are not well defined.

Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Novel Loci Associated with Circulating Phospho- and Sphingolipid Concentrations [PDF]
Phospho- and sphingolipids are crucial cellular and intracellular compounds. These lipids are required for active transport, a number of enzymatic processes, membrane formation, and cell signalling.

Molecular mechanism of dietary phospholipid requirement of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, fry [PDF]
The phospholipid (PL) requirement in fish is revealed by enhanced performance when larvae are provided PL-enriched diets. To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying PL requirement in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, were fed a minimal PL diet and ...
