HDL and plaque regression in a multiphase model of early atherosclerosis [PDF]
Atherosclerotic plaques are accumulations of cholesterol-engorged macrophages in the artery wall. Plaque growth is initiated and sustained by the deposition of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the artery wall. High density lipoproteins (HDL) counterbalance the effects of LDL by accepting cholesterol from macrophages and removing it from the plaque. In

Possible association between lipid profile and uterine fibroid size [PDF]
Background: Uterine fibroid is the most common benign tumor in reproductive age group, arising from single smooth muscle cell of the uterus. Steroid hormones, estrogen, and progesterone are considered to be the most important links in the pathophysiology

Improvement Effect of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid on Hyperlipidemia in Miniature Schnauzer Dogs: An Open Study in 5 Cases of One Pedigree [PDF]
This is the first study to examine the long-term effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid mainly on serum lipoproteins in dogs with hyperlipidemia. We studied 5 Miniature Schnauzer cases whose fasting serum total triglyceride and very-low-density lipoprotein of ...

The precise functions and mechanisms of microRNAs (miR) in gallbladder cancer (GBC) remain elusive. In this study, we found that miR‐135a‐5p expression is often dampened and correlated with neoplasm histologic grade in GBC.

Transport of apolipoproteins A-I and A-II by human thoracic duct lymph [PDF]
The daily transport of human plasma apolipoproteins A-I and A-II, triglyceride, and total cholesterol from the thoracic duct lymph into plasma was measured in 2 subjects before and 3 subjects after renal transplantation. Lymph triglyceride transport was ~

SR-B1, a Key Receptor Involved in the Progression of Cardiovascular Disease: A Perspective from Mice and Human Genetic Studies [PDF]
High plasma level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the main driver of the initiation and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nevertheless, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is con-sidered an anti-atherogenic lipoprotein due to its role in ...

Mechanics of cell integration in vivo [PDF]
During embryonic development, regeneration and homeostasis, cells have to physically integrate into their target tissues, where they ultimately execute their function. Despite a significant body of research on how mechanical forces instruct cellular behaviors within the plane of an epithelium, very little is known about the mechanical interplay at the ...

The effect of interaction between Lipoprotein Lipase and ApoVLDL-II genes on fat and serum biochemical levels [PDF]
Body weight, abdominal fat weight and serum biochemical levels were determined from lean and fat chicken breeds at 12 weeks of age. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in apoVLDL-II and lipoprotein lipase genes was screened by PCR-SSCP and detected by ...
