Gene expression and intracellular pathways involved in endothelial dysfunction induced by VLDL and oxidised VLDL [PDF]
The molecular mechanisms underlying the relationship between elevated plasma concentrations of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and coronary artery disease remain uncertain. In the present work, we investigated the gene expression pattern and intracellular pathways in human endothelial cells incubated with very low density lipoproteins (VLDL).

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

Measuring VLDL-triglyceride turnover in humans using ex vivo-prepared VLDL tracer [PDF]
There has been more interest in VLDL-triglyceride (TG) kinetics during the last decade. Unfortunately, robust measurement methods are elaborate and not readily available.

We have previously shown that very low density lipoproteins (VLDL, Sf 60–400) from subjects with type IV hyperlipoproteinemia (HTG-VLDL) will induce appreciable cholesteryl ester accumulation in cultured macrophages (J774A.1).

Decreases in the serum VLDL-TG/non-VLDL-TG ratio from early stages of chronic hepatitis C: alterations in TG-rich lipoprotein levels. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The liver secretes very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) and plays a key role in lipid metabolism. Plasma total triglyceride (TG) level variations have been studied in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related chronic hepatitis (CH-C ...

Walking the VLDL tightrope in cardiometabolic diseases
Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), a triglyceride-rich lipoprotein secreted by hepatocytes, is pivotal for supplying peripheral tissues with fatty acids for energy production. As if walking on a tightrope, perturbations in the balance of VLDL metabolism contribute to cardiometabolic dysfunction, promoting pathologies such as cardiovascular disease ...

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.
