Functions of lipoprotein receptors in neurons

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2004
The LDL receptor (LDLR) family is comprised of several multifunctional cell surface proteins that bind and endocytose ligands with diverse biological functions.

Reduction of circulating cholesterol and apolipoprotein levels during sepsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Sepsis with multiple organ failure is frequently associated with a substantial decrease of cholesterol levels. This decrease of cholesterol is strongly associated with mortality suggesting a direct relation between inflammatory conditions and altered ...

Lipolytic remnants of human VLDL produced in vitro: effect of HDL levels in the lipolysis mixtures on the apoCs to apoE ratio and metabolic properties of VLDL core remnants

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2000
To determine the role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) as an acceptor of lipolytic surface remnants of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) in the metabolism of VLDL core remnants, we examined the effect of HDL levels in the VLDL lipolysis mixture on 1 ...

Soluble levels of receptor for advanced glycation endproducts and dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus: ACTG NWCS332. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) function and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in HIV-related atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unclear.

Isolation and characterization of two distinct species of human very low density lipoproteins lacking apolipoprotein E

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1996
We have isolated two fractions of very low density lipoprotein particles in human plasma that lack apolipoprotein (apo) E by combined anti-apoE and heparin affinity chromatography of whole plasma followed by ultracentrifugation.

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.

Ganglioside embedded in reconstituted lipoprotein binds cholera toxin with elevated affinity[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
The ability to exogenously present cell-surface receptors in high-affinity conformations in a synthetic system offers an opportunity to provide host cells with protection from pathogenic toxins.

Drosophila Lipophorin Receptors Recruit the Lipoprotein LTP to the Plasma Membrane to Mediate Lipid Uptake. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2015
Lipophorin, the main Drosophila lipoprotein, circulates in the hemolymph transporting lipids between organs following routes that must adapt to changing physiological requirements.

Is the atherosclerotic phenotype of preeclamptic placentas due to altered lipoprotein concentrations and placental lipoprotein receptors? Role of a small-for-gestational-age phenotype

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2013
Atherosis of spiral arteries in uteroplacental beds from preeclamptic women resemble those of atherosclerosis, characterized by increased plasma lipids and lipoproteins. We hypothesized that: 1) lipoprotein receptors/transporters in the placenta would be
