Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the main protein found in low-density lipoproteins (LDL), which are tiny particles that transport fat and cholesterol through the body. The process is necessary because this hormone produces many others that are important for cellular health and function....
Lipoprotein(a) concentration increases during treatment with carbamazepine. Summary: Purpose: Treatment with carbamazepine (CBZ) is known to affect apolipoprotein B–containing lipoprotein concentrations in serum. However, little... S Brämswig,T Sudhop,C Luers,... - 《Epilepsia Journal of the Int...
The structure of truncated human apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I), the major protein component of high density lipoprotein, has been determined at 4-脜 resolution. The crystals comprise residues 44鈥 (exon 4) of apo A-I, a fragment that bind... DW Borhani,DP Rogers,ECG Brouillette - 《Pro...
Finally when a distinct and highly variable apolipoprotein (a) joins apoB on LDL, an atherothrombotic lipoprotein (a) is formed that is cleared less efficiently and can further augment the LDL particle burden. These important members of the proteome are reviewed....
BHT is insoluble in water, 10NaOH solution, glycerol, and propylene glycol. BHT is odorless, odorless with good thermal stability.BHT, also known as dibutylhydroxytoluene, is a lipophilic organic compound, chemically a derivative of phenol, that is useful for its antioxidant properties....
Liver fat storage, also called hepatic steatosis, is increasingly common and represents a very frequent diagnosis in the medical field. Excess fat is not without consequences. In fact, hepatic steatosis contributes to the progression toward liver fibrosi
C5a is a chemotactic driver of neutrophils, causing at the same time alterations in the vascular permeability in the inflamed area. C5b attaches to microbe structures, developing a membrane attack complex consisting of C6, C7, C8, and C9 [23]. This complex causes the eventual death of the ...
and the presence of modified lipoproteins not routinely measured in clinical practice. Nitrated lipoproteins are produced by the nitration of the tyrosyl residues of apolipoproteins by myeloperoxidase. There is some evidence from the research conducted showing that nitrated lipoproteins may play a role ...
The “behavior” of the various lipoproteins is determined by the specific kinds of proteins (called apolipoproteins) that appear on their surface. Lipoprotein metabolism is quite complex, and scientists are still working out all the details. However, most doctors concern themselves with two major ...
Although the study was not designed to provide mechanistic information, the authors suggested a modulatory effect of sex hor- mones on lipoprotein metabolism and apolipoprotein E phenotype. Physical activity is another important lifestyle fac- tor that may affect PD onset, s...
