Atheroprotective reverse cholesterol transport pathway is defective in familial hypercholesterolemia.
OBJECTIVE Low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels are frequently observed in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and might be associated with functional alterations of HDL particles that may influence their efficaciousness in the reverse cholesterol transport pathway. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated key steps of the reverse cholesterol transport, ie, cellular free cholesterol ef...
متن کاملProbucol promotes reverse cholesterol transport in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Effects on apolipoprotein AI-containing lipoprotein particles.
In order to investigate the effect of Probucol therapy on reverse cholesterol transport, apo AI-containing lipoprotein particles were isolated and characterized, and their cholesterol effluxing capacity and LCAT activity were assayed in four familial hypercholesterolemia patients before and after 12 weeks of Probucol therapy. Four major subpopulations of apo A-containing lipoprotein particles a...
متن کاملCerebral cholesterol granuloma in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is characterized by the accumulation of excess cholesterol in tissues including the artery wall and tendons. We describe a patient with homozygous FH who presented with asymptomatic cholesterol granuloma of the brain. The patient's plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was remarkably responsive to combination hypolipidemic therapy with statin plus e...
متن کاملReverse cholesterol transport pathway in experimental chronic renal failure.
BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure (CRF) causes oxidative stress, inflammation, oxidation of lipoproteins, impaired maturation of HDL and accelerated atherosclerosis. Uptake of oxidized lipoproteins by macrophages via scavenger receptors (scavenger receptor class A type I--SR-AI, and lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor--LOX-1) leads to foam cell formation and atherosclerosis. HDL mitigates atherosc...
متن کاملPhysiological Modulation of the Reverse Cholesterol Transport Pathway in Vivo
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease characterized by the appearance of inflamed lesions in the arterial wall. The main component of an atherosclerotic lesion is a cholesterol-filled macrophage (a foam cell). In addition, the inflamed intima contains numerous mast cells which, upon activation, acutely secrete serine proteases and other mediators that can influence the progression of atheros...
