Atherogenesis requires and is highly influenced by the interaction between lipoproteins and
macrophages. Most of the focus to date has been on the ability of atherogenic lipoproteins …

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) hydrolyzes triglycerides in the circulation and promotes the hepatic
uptake of remnant lipoproteins. Since the gene was cloned in 1989, more than 100 LPL …

Epidemiological and interventional studies have implicated elevated triglyceride-rich
lipoprotein (TGRL) levels as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and vascular …

Recent data suggest that plasma leptin may represent a cardiovascular risk factor in diabetic
patients. To gain further insight into the role of leptin in atherogenesis associated with …

Background and Purpose—Lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities have been implicated in the
pathogenesis of ischemic cerebrovascular disease and atherosclerosis. Lipoprotein lipase …

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 …

Abstract Apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48) is known to be the only specific marker of intestinal
chylomicron particles. The amino acid sequence of apoB-48 represents 48% of the initial …

The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis involves multiple cellular events, including endothelial
cell dysfunction, inflammation, proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and matrix …

Large-scale epidemiological studies have revealed a strong association between
hypertriglyceridemia and coronary arteriosclerotic disease. However, there are conflicting …

Objective The novel description of antibodies to lipoprotein lipase (anti‐LPL) associated with
dyslipoproteinemia prompted us to analyze the association of anti‐LPL with clinical and …
