Ex vivo measurement of lipoprotein lipase-dependent very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-triglyceride hydrolysis in human VLDL: an alternative to the postheparin assay of lipoprotein lipase activity?
The plasma lipolysis of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins is mainly due to the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL). Albeit important for our analysis of certain physiopathological situations, the determination of the magnitude of LPL-dependent lipolysis is not easy to perform. This essentially results from the binding of LPL to the luminal surface of vascular endothelium. The measurements of...
متن کاملVery Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL)
Triglyceride (TG) or more accurately triacylglycerol is simply a compound of three acyl groups (fatty acids) attached to a glycerol molecule. They are easily measured in the laboratory and reported as serum TG level: it actually refers to all of the TG that are being trafficked within all of the lipoproteins that exist in a deciliter of plasma. A physiologic fasting TG concentration is on avera...
متن کاملVery low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-induced signals mediating aldosterone production.
Aldosterone, secreted by the adrenal zona glomerulosa, enhances sodium retention, thus increasing blood volume and pressure. Excessive production of aldosterone results in high blood pressure and contributes to cardiovascular and renal disease, stroke and visual loss. Hypertension is also associated with obesity, which is correlated with other serious health risks as well. Although weight gain ...
متن کاملPlasma Lipid and Lipoprotein Cholesterol Concentrations Plasma Cholesterol VLDL C / TG ApoE Subject Age Sex Cholesterol
A unique kindred with premature cardiovascular disease, tuboeruptive xanthomas, and type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) associated with familial apolipoprotein (apo) E deficiency was examined. Homozygotes (n = 4) had marked increases in cholesterol-rich very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), which could be effectively lowered with diet and medication (...
متن کاملDecreases in the Serum VLDL-TG/Non-VLDL-TG Ratio from Early Stages of Chronic Hepatitis C: Alterations in TG-Rich Lipoprotein Levels
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). However, the results of these studies are variable. A homogenous assay protocol was recently proposed to directly measure the TG content in VLDL (...
