Influence of Abdominal Obesity on the Lipid-Lipoprotein Profile in Apoprotein E2/4 Carriers: The Effect of an Apparent Duality.

Journal of lipids

Villeneuve S, Brisson D, Gaudet D.
PMID: 26605088
J Lipids. 2015;2015:742408. doi: 10.1155/2015/742408. Epub 2015 Oct 28.

Background. Apolipoprotein (Apo) E plays a key role in the handling of lipoprotein particles with ApoE2 and ApoE4 frequently having opposite effects compared to ApoE3. Some individuals simultaneously carry both E2 and E4 alleles. The impact of the ApoE2/4...

Interaction between SCO-spondin and low density lipoproteins from embryonic cerebrospinal fluid modulates their roles in early neurogenesis.

PMID: 26074785
Front Neuroanat. 2015 May 28;9:72. doi: 10.3389/fnana.2015.00072. eCollection 2015.

During early stages of development, encephalic vesicles are composed by a layer of neuroepithelial cells surrounding a central cavity filled with embryonic cerebrospinal fluid (eCSF). This fluid contains several morphogens that regulate proliferation and differentiation of neuroepithelial cells. One...

The role of Multidrug Resistance-1 (MDR1) variants in response to atorvastatin among Jordanians.

Cytotechnology

Alzoubi KH, Khabour OF, Al-Azzam SI, Mayyas F, Mhaidat NM.
PMID: 24414406
Cytotechnology. 2015 Mar;67(2):267-74. doi: 10.1007/s10616-013-9682-z. Epub 2014 Jan 11.

The MDR1 gene encodes for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which is an efflux transporter at the cell membrane. The P-gp has wide substrate specificity for multiple medications including the lipid lowering drug, atorvastatin. In this study, we investigated the possible association...

Carotenoids: potential allies of cardiovascular health?.

Food & nutrition research

Gammone MA, Riccioni G, D'Orazio N.
PMID: 25660385
Food Nutr Res. 2015 Feb 06;59:26762. doi: 10.3402/fnr.v59.26762. eCollection 2015.

Carotenoids are a class of natural, fat-soluble pigments found principally in plants. They have potential antioxidant biological properties because of their chemical structure and interaction with biological membranes. Epidemiologic studies supported the hypothesis that antioxidants could be used as...

Plasma PAF-AH (PLA2G7): Biochemical Properties, Association with LDLs and HDLs, and Regulation of Expression.

The Enzymes

Stafforini DM.
PMID: 26612648
Enzymes. 2015;38:71-93. doi: 10.1016/bs.enz.2015.09.004. Epub 2015 Oct 17.

This chapter is focused on the plasma form of PAF-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), a lipoprotein-bound, calcium-independent phospholipase A2 activity also referred to as lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 and PLA2G7. PAF-AH catalyzes the removal of the acyl group at the sn-2 position of...

Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase-1: Is It the Link between Sulfur Amino Acids and Lipid Metabolism?.

Biology

Poloni S, Blom HJ, Schwartz IV.
PMID: 26046927
Biology (Basel). 2015 Jun 03;4(2):383-96. doi: 10.3390/biology4020383.

An association between sulfur amino acids (methionine, cysteine, homocysteine and taurine) and lipid metabolism has been described in several experimental and population-based studies. Changes in the metabolism of these amino acids influence serum lipoprotein concentrations, although the underlying mechanisms...

Hydroxytyrosol and potential uses in cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and AIDS.

Frontiers in nutrition

Vilaplana-Pérez C, Auñón D, García-Flores LA, Gil-Izquierdo A.
PMID: 25988120
Front Nutr. 2014 Oct 27;1:18. doi: 10.3389/fnut.2014.00018. eCollection 2014.

Hydroxytyrosol is one of the main phenolic components of olive oil. It is present in the fruit and leaf of the olive (Olea europaea L.). During the past decades, it has been well documented that this phenolic compound has...

High density lipoproteins: Measurement techniques and potential biomarkers of cardiovascular risk.

BBA clinical

Hafiane A, Genest J.
PMID: 26674734
BBA Clin. 2015 Jan 31;3:175-88. doi: 10.1016/j.bbacli.2015.01.005. eCollection 2015 Jun.

Plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) comprises a heterogeneous family of lipoprotein species, differing in surface charge, size and lipid and protein compositions. While HDL cholesterol (C) mass is a strong, graded and coherent biomarker of cardiovascular risk, genetic...

Elevated Phospholipid Transfer Protein in Subjects with Multiple Sclerosis.

Journal of lipids

Garvin RA.
PMID: 26347820
J Lipids. 2015;2015:518654. doi: 10.1155/2015/518654. Epub 2015 Aug 12.

An anomaly in the plasma proteins of patients with multiple sclerosis detectable on SDS-PAGE has been reported. The molecular weight of the anomaly was the same as the phospholipid transfer protein. A metabolic protein was involved in lipid homeostasis...

Comparison of blood lipids and blood pressure in black and white collegiate male athletes.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council

Millard-Stafford M, Sparling PB.
PMID: 28524346
Am J Hum Biol. 1992;4(2):265-270. doi: 10.1002/ajhb.1310040211.

Blood lipids, lipoproteins, and blood pressure (BP) were examined in 74 black and 93 white male NCAA Division I-A collegiate football athletes. Subjects were involved in resistance training and anaerobic running and all ate at the same training table....

Low HDL levels in sepsis versus trauma patients in intensive care unit.

Annals of intensive care

BACKGROUND: The protective cardiovascular effect of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) is considered to chiefly rely on reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral tissues back to the liver. However, HDL particles display pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic or antioxidant functions. Some studies...

Polychlorinated biphenyls exposure damages the rat liver cells. Hematological parameters such as hemoglobin, packed cell volume, red-blood cells, white-blood cells, neutrophils, platelet counts, and RBC indices were significantly decreased. Polymorphs, eosinophil counts, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were significantly increased....
