OBJECTIVE Apolipoprotein E4 may benefit children during early periods of life when the body is challenged by infection and nutritional decline. We examined whether apolipoprotein E4 affects intestinal barrier function, improving short-term growth and long-term cognitive outcomes in Brazilian shantytown children. METHODS A total of 213 Brazilian shantytown children with below-median height-for...

Plasma samples were incubated under various conditions to study the effect of in vitro incubation on apolipoprotein A-IV distribution between the lipoprotein and lipoprotein-free fractions. When plasma was fractionated immediately after bleeding, apolipoprotein A-IV was present in equal concentrations in the lipoprotein and lipoprotein-free fractions. After a 4-hr, 37 degrees C incubation, grea...

10 Background: Recent studies have shown the apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1 ratio (apoB/A1) to be superior to LDL-cholesterol m 11

Apolipoprotein L-I is the trypanolytic factor of human serum. Here we show that this protein contains a membrane pore-forming domain functionally similar to that of bacterial colicins, flanked by a membrane-addressing domain. In lipid bilayer membranes, apolipoprotein L-I formed anion channels. In Trypanosoma brucei, apolipoprotein L-I was targeted to the lysosomal membrane and triggered depola...

Apolipoprotein B-100 is a constant component of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), and low density lipoproteins (LDL) in mammalian blood plasma. We have found that each of these classes of lipoproteins includes particles that contain apolipoprotein E (B,E particles) as well as particles that lack this protein (B particles). These two species can be se...

The concentration of cholesterol, apolipoproteins A-I, B, and E has been determined in lymphedema fluid from nine patients with chronic primary lymphedema. The concentrations were: 38.14 +/- 21.06 mg/dl for cholesterol, 15.6 +/- 6.17 mg/dl for apolipoprotein A-I, 7.5 +/- 2.8 mg/dl for apolipoprotein B, and 1.87 +/- 0.50 mg/dl for apolipoprotein E. These values represent 23%, 12%, 6%, and 38% of...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relation between midlife alcohol consumption and mild cognitive impairment and dementia in old age, and the possible modification of this relation by apolipoprotein E. DESIGN Prospective, population based study. SETTING Populations of Kuopio and Joensuu, eastern Finland. PARTICIPANTS Of 1464 men and women aged 65-79 years randomly selected from population based s...

BACKGROUND Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is the principal target of lipid-lowering therapy, but recent evidence has suggested more appropriate targets. We compared the relationships of on-treatment levels of LDL cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B, as well as ratios of total/HDL cholesterol, LDL/HDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B/A-I,...
