Lipoprotein lipase and atherosclerosis.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a rate-limiting enzyme that hydrolyzes circulating triglyceride-rich lipoprotein such as very low density lipoproteins and chylomicrons. A decrease in LPL activity is associated with an increase in plasma triglycerides (TG) and decrease in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. The increase in plasma TG and decrease in HDL cholesterol are risk factors of coronar...
متن کاملThe pivotal role of lipoprotein lipase in atherosclerosis.
1 . Introduction acids and 2-monoacylglycerols for tissue utilization [3,4]. Due to the large size of its substrates, the physiological site Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of heart attacks, of LPL action is at the luminal surface of blood vessels, to stroke and peripheral vascular disease, is responsible for which the enzyme is attached via highly charged heparan over 50% of all deaths i...
متن کاملRole of macrophage-derived lipoprotein lipase in lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) synthesis by macrophages is upregulated in early atherogenesis, implicating the possible involvement of LPL in plaque formation. However, it is still unclear whether macrophage-derived LPL displays a proatherosclerotic or an antiatherosclerotic role in atherosclerotic lesion development. In this study, the role of macrophage-derived LPL on lipid metabolism and atheroscl...
متن کاملThe effects of VEGF-A on atherosclerosis, lipoprotein profile, and lipoprotein lipase in hyperlipidaemic mouse models.
AIMS The role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) in atherogenesis has remained controversial. We addressed this by comparing the effects of adenoviral VEGF-A gene transfer on atherosclerosis and lipoproteins in ApoE(-/-), LDLR(-/-), LDLR(-/-)ApoE(-/-), and LDLR(-/-)ApoB(100/100) mice. METHODS AND RESULTS After 4 weeks on western diet, systemic adenoviral gene transfer was performe...
متن کاملChimeras of Hepatic Lipase and Lipoprotein Lipase
Chimeric molecules between human lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and rat hepatic lipase (HL) were used to identify structural elements responsible for functional differences. Based on the close sequence homology with pancreatic lipase, both LPL and HL are believed to have a two-domain structure composed of an aminoterminal (NHz-terminal) domain containing the catalytic Ser-His-Asp triad and a smaller ...
