The effects of dexamethasone (a synthetic glucocorticoid) and insulin on the secretion of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were investigated. Rat hepatocytes in monolayer culture were preincubated for 15 h in the presence or absence of combinations of 100 nM-dexamethasone and 2 nM-, 10 nM- or 50 nM-insulin. Dexamethasone increased [3H]oleate incorporation i...

Cholesterol esterification in high density lipoproteins (HDLs) by lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) promotes unesterified cholesterol (UC) transfer from red cell membranes to plasma in vitro. However, it does not explain the transfer of UC from most peripheral cells to interstitial fluid in vivo, as HDLs in afferent peripheral lymph are enriched in UC. Having already reported that the...

Human high density lipoprotein (HDL), devoid of apolipoproteins E or B, binds with high affinity and specificity to cultured cells derived from several tissues. In order to investigate the ligand specificity of the putative receptor, we have performed competitive inhibition studies to identify the components of high density lipoprotein that bind to cell surfaces of rat adrenal cortical cells an...

OBJECTIVE To assess the risk factors, lipid and apolipoprotein profile, hemostasis variables, and polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein AI-CIII gene in early coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS Case-control study with 112 patients in each group controlled by sex and age. After clinical evaluation and nutritional instruction, blood samples were collected for biochemical assays and genetic stu...

The complete amino acid sequence of apolipoprotein A-I (apo-A-I) from canine serum high density lipoproteins (HDL) has been determined by automated Edman degradation of the intact protein and proteolytic fragments derived therefrom. The major strategy involved analysis of overlapping sets of peptides generated by cleavage at lysyl residues with Myxobacter protease and by tryptic hydrolysis at a...

Freshly isolated human adipocytes showed specific uptake of 125I-labeled human high density lipoprotein (HDL2 and HDL3), a portion of which could be released by subsequent incubation with excess unlabeled ligand. To study the mechanism of HDL binding, sucrose gradient-purified adipocyte plasma membranes were incubated with radioiodinated lipoprotein particles under equilibrium conditions in the...
