Lipopolysaccharide enters the rat brain by a lipoprotein-mediated transport mechanism in physiological conditions

Scientific Reports, 2017
Physiologically, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is present in the bloodstream and can be bound to several proteins for its transport (i.e.) LPS binding protein (LBP) and plasma lipoproteins).

The E3 ubiquitin ligase IDOL regulates synaptic ApoER2 levels and is important for plasticity and learning. [PDF]

, 2017
Neuronal ApoE receptors are linked to learning and memory, but the pathways governing their abundance, and the mechanisms by which they affect the function of neural circuits are incompletely understood.

LDL Receptor-Related Protein-1 (LRP1) Regulates Cholesterol Accumulation in Macrophages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Within the circulation, cholesterol is transported by lipoprotein particles and is taken up by cells when these particles associate with cellular receptors.

Mechanism of action of fibrates on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism.

Circulation, 1998
Treatment with fibrates, a widely used class of lipid-modifying agents, results in a substantial decrease in plasma triglycerides and is usually associated with a moderate decrease in LDL cholesterol and an increase in HDL cholesterol concentrations ...

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.

ApoC-III inhibits clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins through LDL family receptors.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2016
Hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and plasma triglycerides (TGs) correlate strongly with plasma apolipoprotein C-III (ApoC-III) levels.

The hepatoadrenal syndrome: A common yet unrecognized clinical condition [PDF]

, 2005
Objective: Adrenal failure is common in critically ill patients, particularly those with sepsis. As liver failure and sepsis are both associated with increased circulating levels of endotoxin and proinflammatory mediators and reduced levels of apoprotein-

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Low Density Lipoprotein Oxidation and Its Pathobiological Significance*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
Background The fact that low density lipoprotein (LDL) 1 is extremely sus- ceptible to oxidative damage has been known for some time (1, 2), but until quite recently this was primarily a nuisance for the student of lipoprotein metabolism.

Apolipoprotein E: from cardiovascular disease to neurodegenerative disorders. [PDF]

, 2016
Apolipoprotein (apo) E was initially described as a lipid transport protein and major ligand for low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors with a role in cholesterol metabolism and cardiovascular disease.
