Enhancing Atherosclerosis Regression in Diabetic Mice Through Apo AI (Apolipoprotein AI)

Serum Apolipoprotein Ai

-high Density Lipoprotein, Apolipoprotein AI, and Phospholipid in Mice Expressing the Human Phospholipid Transfer Protein and Human Apolipoprotein AI Transgenes

Human plasma phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) circulates bound to high density lipoprotein (HDL) and mediates both net transfer and exchange of phospholipids between different lipoproteins. However, its overall function in lipoprotein metabolism is unknown. To assess the effects of increased plasma levels of PLTP, human PLTP transgenic mice were established using the human PLTP gene driven ...

Effects of streptozotocin-induced diabetes in apolipoprotein AI deficient mice.

During the past decade a number of investigators have attempted to develop mouse models of diabetic macrovascular disease. Hyperglycemia might increase vascular damage because it increases oxidant stress. For this reason we studied animals that were deficient in HDL; HDL is widely believed to protect against oxidant stress. An inbred line of mice doubly deficient in LDL receptor and apoAI was m...

چکیدهمقدمه: اختلال در میزان لیپیدها و آپولیپوپروتئین‌ها از عوامل خطرساز بیماری قلبی ـ عروقی محسوب می‌شود و خوشه‌ی ژنی  APOAI-CIII-AVIنقش مهمی در تنظیم سوخت و ساز و میزان لیپیدها دارد. هدف پژوهش حاضر، بررسی ارتباط 5 پلی‌مورفیسم در ناحیه‌ی ژنی Apo11q با میزان لیپیدها در سرم می‌باشد. مواد و روش‌ها: مطالعه‌ی مقطعی حاضر  روی 823 نفر (340 مرد و 483 زن) از جمعیت مورد مطالعه‌ی قند و لیپید تهران  (TLGS)...

REVIEW Hormonal regulation of apolipoprotein AI

Apolipoprotein AI (apo AI) is the major protein component of the serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. The antiatherogenic properties of apo AI alone or as part of HDL and their inverse correlation with the incidence of coronary heart disease underlie the clinical importance of the protein. A detailed understanding of the mechanisms by which apo AI is regulated will help us develop ne...
