The Plasma Lipoproteins

1977
Publisher Summary Plasma lipoproteins are the macromolecular complexes with reproducible lipid-protein ratios and stability in aqueous solutions. This chapter describes the classification of the plasma lipoproteins, molecular properties of apolipoproteins, molecular organization of lipoprotein particles, and lipoprotein metabolism.

Plasma High-Density Lipoproteins

New England Journal of Medicine, 1978
WHY all the recent excitement about highdensity lipoproteins (HDL)? Because of the strong inverse relation between plasma levels of HDL and mortality from cardiovascular disease.1,2 Increased serum...

Plasma Lipoproteins in Pregnancy

Hormone Research, 1976
Plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and apolipoprotein B were measured in healthy women during pregnancy. Hyperlipidaemia was most marked in the third trimester of pregnancy, but the increases in cholesterol, triglyceride and apolipoprotein-B were not identical (14, 74 and 36%, respectively).

Plasma lipoprotein conversions

1986
Publisher Summary This chapter presents an up-to-date approximation of the process of fat transport in lipoproteins. Lipid transfer proteins induce compositional changes at the core (cholesteryl ester and triglyceride) and surface (phospholipids) domains of the lipoproteins.

Plasma Lipoproteins: Recent Developments

1977
It is less than 50 years since Macheboeuf first isolated and described the plasma lipoproteins (1,2). The reason for the increasing interest in these substances is the evidence associating them to the development of arteriosclerosis (3). Regardless whether or not hyperlipidemia as such is present, the accumulation of lipoprotein-cholesterol in the ...

Turnover of Plasma Lipoproteins

1972
Several different human plasma lipoprotein apoproteins have now been characterized. Though their physical chemical characteristics have been described it is knowledge of their metabolic fate and function that promises to help us understand human lipid transport, and its disorders.

Glycosphingolipids of human plasma lipoproteins

Lipids, 1976
AbstractThe content and structure of glycosphingolipids (GSL) in human plasma lipoproteins were studies. The quantitative distribution of the neutral GSL(Glc‐Cer, Gal‐Glc‐Cer, Gal‐Gal‐Glc‐Cer, and GalNAc‐Gal‐Gal‐Glc‐Cer) and the principal ganglioside (AcNeu‐Gal‐Glc‐Cer) within the different lipoprotein classes was similar to that of whole plasma.

Dietary cholesterol and plasma lipoproteins

Atherosclerosis, 1993
Although dietary cholesterol undoubtedly affects the plasma cholesterol level, the magnitude of this effect depends on several factors: 1. the amount of cholesterol ingested; 2. the amount of dietary fat; 3. the type of dietary fat; 4. the efficiency of metabolic compensatory mechanisms; 5. interactions with other dietary factors. Some of these are not

Plasma lipoproteins mediate platelet adhesion

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1990
Platelet adhesion to VLDL, LDL, HDL, and to a mixture of purified apolipoproteins was examined. Platelets adhered to all the classes of lipoproteins tested. VLDL and the apolipoprotein mixture promoted the greatest degree of adhesion. Platelet adhesion was inhibited by addition of EDTA, RGD-containing peptides and anti-GPIIb-IIIa, monoclonal antibodies.

Platelet activation by plasma lipoproteins

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1987
Enhanced platelet activity in patients with hypercholesterolemia and moderate hypertriglyceridemia can be attributed to increased LDL and VLDL and/or decreased HDL concentrations. In marked hypertriglyceridemia, where there is an accumulation of chylomicrons, platelet function is reduced.
