The Role of Macrophage Lipophagy in Reverse Cholesterol Transport [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2017
Macrophage cholesterol efflux is a central step in reverse cholesterol transport, which helps to maintain cholesterol homeostasis and to reduce atherosclerosis.

Importance of macrophage cholesterol content on the flux of cholesterol mass

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Net flux of cholesterol represents the difference between efflux and influx and can result in net cell-cholesterol accumulation, net cell-cholesterol depletion, or no change in cellular cholesterol content.

An apolipoprotein A-I mimetic dose-dependently increases the formation of preβ1 HDL in human plasma

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Preβ1 HDL is the initial plasma acceptor of cell-derived cholesterol in reverse cholesterol transport. Recently, small amphipathic peptides composed of D-amino acids have been shown to mimic apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) as a precursor for HDL formation ...

Human immunodeficiency virus impairs reverse cholesterol transport from macrophages. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2006
Several steps of HIV-1 replication critically depend on cholesterol. HIV infection is associated with profound changes in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and an increased risk of coronary artery disease.

Role of the hepatic ABCA1 transporter in modulating intrahepatic cholesterol and plasma HDL cholesterol concentrations

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
The current model for reverse cholesterol transport proposes that HDL transports excess cholesterol derived primarily from peripheral cells to the liver for removal.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta activation leads to increased transintestinal cholesterol efflux

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARδ) is involved in regulation of energy homeostasis. Activation of PPARδ markedly increases fecal neutral sterol secretion, the last step in reverse cholesterol transport.

Cholesterol and Lipoprotein Metabolism and Atherosclerosis: Recent Advances in Reverse Cholesterol Transport

Annals of Hepatology, 2017
Atherosclerosis is characterized by lipid accumulation, inflammatory response, cell death and fibrosis in the arterial wall, and is a major pathological basis for ischemic coronary heart disease (CHD), which is the leading cause of morbidity and ...

Cyclosporine A impairs the macrophage reverse cholesterol transport in mice by reducing sterol fecal excretion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Despite the efficacy in reducing acute rejection events in organ transplanted subjects, long term therapy with cyclosporine A is associated with increased atherosclerotic cardiovascular morbidity.

Effects of flavonoids on cholesterol efflux capability

International Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2022
Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), which plays a critical role in the export of cholesterol from peripheral cells, is one of the processes employed in the management and treatment of atherosclerosis.

Physical Fitness and Reverse Cholesterol Transport [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2004
Background— Physical exercise is associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, which may be partly caused by the effect of exercise on the lipoprotein profile. The most consistent effect of exercise on lipoprotein metabolism is an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
