Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Lipoprotein Metabolism [PDF]

PPAR Research, 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.

Contribution of receptors to 'Neisseria meningitidis' interactions with human macrophages [PDF]

, 2004
N. meningitidis is a gram-negative human pathogen that invades human cells, evades immune responses and goes on to cause meningococcal disease, sepsis and death.

Mathematical model for low density lipoprotein (LDL) endocytosis by hepatocytes [PDF]

, 2008
Individuals with elevated levels of plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) are considered to be at risk of developing coronary heart disease.

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

, 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]

, 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.

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

Journal 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

Effect of pregnancy and lactation on lipoprotein and cholesterol metabolism in the rat

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Origins of hyperlipidemia and cholestasis that occur during pregnancy were investigated by examining expression of key elements related to plasma and hepatic cholesterol metabolism during pregnancy, lactation, and post-lactation in the rat model.

High density lipoprotein receptors, binding proteins, and ligands

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
Several HDL binding proteins, quite disparate in structure, have recently been cloned and their role in HDL metabolism is currently being assessed. High density lipoprotein binding protein, HBP (vigilin), which lacks a transmembrane domain is responsive ...

Role of lipoprotein apheresis in the management of familial hypercholesterolemia

Global Journal of Transfusion Medicine, 2021
Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder due to a congenital absence of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) that transports cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein particles into cells.
