Is normal pregnancy atherogenic?
Serum cholesterol, triacylglycerols and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subfractions were determined in 120 primagravid women during normal gestation (40 in each trimester) and in 20 non-pregnant age-matched controls. LDL subfractions were determined by PAGE, and an LDL score was calculated. The higher the score, the smaller the subfractions. The objective of the study was to determine the effect...
متن کاملMobility of "HSPG-bound" LPL explains how LPL is able to reach GPIHBP1 on capillaries.
In mice lacking glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high density lipoprotein binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1), the LPL secreted by adipocytes and myocytes remains bound to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) on all cells within tissues. That observation raises a perplexing issue: Why isn't the freshly secreted LPL in wild-type mice captured by the same HSPGs, thereby preventing LPL from reaching...
متن کاملIs cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency atherogenic in familial hypercholesterolemia.
Atherosclerosis is considered to be caused by many risk factors. Epidemiological studies have shownthat the co-existence of multiple risk factors contributes to the progress in the disease more heavily than a single risk factor. A high level of LDLis a very strong risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), showing the high incidence of angina or myocardial infarction in familial hypercholest...
متن کاملOsteopontin deficiency dampens the pro-atherogenic effect of uraemia.
AIMS Uraemia is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Osteopontin (OPN) is highly expressed in aortas of uraemic apolipoprotein E knockout (E KO) mice. OPN affects key atherogenic processes, i.e. inflammation and phenotypic modulation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). We explored the role of OPN on vascular pathology in uraemic mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Uraemia was induced by 5/6 neph...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in LPL, CETP, and HL protect HIV-infected patients from atherogenic dyslipidemia in an allele-dose-dependent manner
INTRODUCTION HIV-infected patients treated with Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) may be predisposed to hypertriglyceridemia, which gives rise to a highly atherogenic lipid profile known as atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD). We propose that genetic variability leaves some HIV-infected patients more predisposed to AD than others (1, 2). METHODS This was a cross-sectional, observational ...
