Among other factors, fetal growth requires maternal supply of cholesterol. Cellular
cholesterol uptake is mainly mediated by the LDL receptor (LDL-R) and the scavenger …

Previous studies have shown that in preeclampsia, plasma lipids climb substantially above
levels seen in normal pregnancies. Such lipid changes may play a role in the endothelial …

Atherosis of spiral arteries in uteroplacental beds from preeclamptic women resemble those
of atherosclerosis, characterized by increased plasma lipids and lipoproteins. We …

Maternal hyperlipidemia is a characteristic feature during pregnancy, it has been reported
that modification of the maternal lipid profile can induce disturbance during pregnancy. In …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with reduced placental supply of
nutrients to the fetus. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) mediates the hydrolysis of triglycerides from …

Pregnancy is accompanied by changes in the maternal lipoprotein metabolism that may
serve to satisfy the nutritional demands of the fetus. In this study lipoprotein metabolism was …

A detailed longitudinal examination of plasma lipoprotein subfraction concentrations and
compositions in pregnancy was performed with the objective of discovering the pattern of …

All major classes of normal circulating lipoproteins can be metabolized by human placental
cells. However, the metabolism of abnormal or modified lipoproteins has been little studied …

We report on a woman with an Lp (a) lipoprotein level above the 99th centile of the
population distribution of concentrations, who at the age of 43 had had deep vein …

We have previously shown that there was an estrogen-regulated developmental increase in
low density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake by placental syncytiotrophoblasts during baboon …
