Increased removal of beta-very low density lipoproteins after ethinyl estradiol is associated with increased mRNA levels for hepatic lipase, lipoprotein lipase, and the low density lipoprotein receptor in Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) plays a role in adipocyte differentiation and insulin sensitization. We identified and characterized a new C/T substitution at position -689 (-689C>T) in the P2 promoter of PPARgamma in a putativ ...
In this work we introduce and discuss several mathematical models, based on partial differential equations, devised to study the coupled transport of macromolecules as low-density lipoproteins in the blood stream and in the arterial walls. These models are ...
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are cholesterol and lipid transport containers. Mature HDL particles destined for the liver develop through the formation of intermediate discoidal HDL particles, which are the primary acceptors for cholesterol. Her ...
The proprotein convertases (PCs) furin, PC5/6, and PACE4 exhibit unique and/or complementary functions. Their knockout (KO) in mice resulted in strong and specific phenotypes demonstrating that, in vivo, these PCs are unique and essential during developmen ...

Spiroplasma poulsonii is a maternally transmitted bacterial endosymbiont that is naturally associated with Drosophila melanogaster. S. poulsonii resides extracellularly in the hemolymph, where it must acquire metabolites to sustain proliferation. In this s ...
Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by lipid accumulation in the vascular wall leading to myocardial infarction or stroke. Hypercholesterolemia is an important risk factor and current treatments are largely based on cholesterol lowering. In spite of ...
The development of a new assay for lipoproteins by capillary electrophoresis in fused-silica capillaries and in glass microdevices is described in this paper. The separation of low-density (LDL) and high-density (HDL) lipoproteins by capillary zone electro ...
Due to the mounting evidence for altered lipoprotein and cholesterol-lipoprotein content in several disease states, there has been an increasing interest in analytical methods for lipoprotein profiling for diagnosis. The separation of low- and high-density ...
The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) enables the transfer of cholesteryl ester (CE) from high density lipoproteins (HDL) to low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in the plasma compartment. CETP inhibition raises plasma levels of HDL cholesterol; a ternar ...
The deacetylase sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) exerts beneficial effects on lipid metabolism, but its roles in plasma LDL-cholesterol regulation and atherosclerosis are controversial. Thus, we applied the pharmacological Sirt1 activator SRT3025 in a mouse model of athe ...
