Ethnic differences in hepatic lipase and HDL in Japanese, black, and white Americans
Hepatic lipase activity (HLA) is a determinant of HDL levels, and a polymorphism in the hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) promoter (C−514T) has been hypothesized to account for higher HDL in blacks and Japanese compared with whites.

Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Lipoprotein Metabolism [PDF]
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.

INSIG1 influences obesity-related hypertriglyceridemia in humans [PDF]
In our analysis of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for plasma triglyceride (TG) levels [logarithm of odds (LOD) = 3.7] on human chromosome 7q36, we examined 29 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across INSIG1, a biological candidate gene in the ...

The ANGPTL3-4-8 model, a molecular mechanism for triglyceride trafficking [PDF]
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a rate-limiting enzyme for hydrolysing circulating triglycerides (TG) into free fatty acids that are taken up by peripheral tissues.

Long-Term Use of Omeprazole: Effect on Haematological and Biochemical Parameters
Background: Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is believed to have various potential adverse events. Omeprazole is a part of PPIs most commonly prescribed worldwide; it irreversibly binds to H+-K+ ATPase enzyme system in the gastric parietal ...

Changing pleural fluid triglyceride levels in cirrhotic chylothorax
Chylothorax is an uncommon disease entity, but it occasionally poses a diagnostic challenge to physicians. Pleural fluid triglyceride level has been advocated as a screening test to diagnose chylothorax. However, its level can be depressed if there is an

The relation of serum TG concentrations and risk for CHD has been an issue of great interest and controversy. Unlike analyses with LDL-C and HDL-C, for which very strong and consistent relations with CHD risk have been demonstrated in observational and interventional studies, those with TG are ambiguous. Thus, TG represents a clinical conundrum: should

Structural investigations of the regio- and enantioselectivity of lipases [PDF]
Although lipases are widely applied for the stereospecific resolution of racemic mixtures of esters, the atomic details of the factors that are responsible for their stereospecificity are largely obscure. We determined the X-ray structures of Pseudomonas
