Intracellular Trafficking and Secretion of VLDL [PDF]
Steady increase in the incidence of atherosclerosis is becoming a major concern not only in the United States but also in other countries. One of the major risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis is high concentrations of plasma low-density lipoprotein, which are metabolic products of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL).

Determinants of VLDL-triglycerides production
Plasma free fatty acids (FFA) are major substrates for hepatic VLDL-triglycerides (VLDL-TG) production. In addition, it is a common belief that VLDL-TG production is a substrate driven process primarily determined by systemic FFA delivery. This review summarizes recent research of our understanding of the regulation of VLDL-TG production.Recent studies

Emerging Evidence of Pathological Roles of Very-Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL)
Embraced with apolipoproteins (Apo) B and Apo E, triglyceride-enriched very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) is secreted by the liver into circulation, mainly during post-meal hours.

Correlation of fasting lipid profile in non-diabetic CKD patients on conservative management
Background- Chronic kidney disease is emerging as a major chronic disease worldwide. There is surge in incidence of CKD in developing countries that is likely to pose a major problem in both health and economic sector.

Scramblases as Regulators of Autophagy and Lipid Homeostasis: Implications for NAFLD
Equilibration of phospholipids between the two monolayers of the lipid bilayer of cellular membranes is mediated by scramblases acting as phospholipid shuttling proteins that are critical for cellular function, particularly during inter-organelle contact.

Insulin resistance (IR) in adolescents with obesity is associated with a sex‐dependent metabolic “signature” comprising the branched‐chain amino acids (BCAAs), glutamate/glutamine, C3/C5 acylcarnitines, and uric acid. Here, we compared the levels of branched‐chain α‐keto acids (BCKAs) and glutamate/glutamine, which are byproducts of BCAA catabolism, as

Relationship between NAFLD and coronary artery disease: A Mendelian randomization study
Abstract Background and Aims There is an ongoing debate on whether NAFLD is an active contributor or an innocent bystander in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to assess the causal relationship between NAFLD and CAD.

Considering the relationship between the extent of metabolic derangement and the disease severity in heart failure, we hypothesized that the lipid content of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) may have prognostic value for 1 year mortality in acute ...

Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

Angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTL)3 regulates plasma lipids by inhibiting LPL and endothelial lipase (EL). ANGPTL3 inactivation lowers LDL-C independently of the classical LDLR-mediated pathway and represents a promising therapeutic approach for ...
