Background Studies have suggested that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) stimulates
scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1) to promote hepatic uptake of cholesterol. SR-B1 …

Background The scavenger receptor class B type I (SCARB1) gene plays an important role
in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) metabolism and may be involved in the …

Background Mutation in SCARB1 gene, exon 8 rs5888, has been associated with altered
lipid levels and cardiovascular risk in humans though the results have been inconsistent. We …

Background Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in lipid transport genes have
been shown to be associated with premature coronary artery disease (PCAD). The …

The SCARB1 gene encodes human scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), the primary
receptor for high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesteryl ester uptake, and polymorphisms in …

Background—Scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SCARB1) plays an important role in high-
density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) metabolism in selective cholesteryl ester uptake and …

Objective—We previously reported a statistically significant association of SCARB1 intronic
single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs10846744 with common carotid intimal-medial …

Aim: This study evaluated the influence of polymorphisms and cholesterol-lowering
treatments on SCARB1 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and in …

Background/Aim: Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity
worldwide. Polymorphisms in the SCARB1 gene are known to be related to plasma lipids …

Objective: Variants within the scavenger receptor class B type I (SCARB1) receptor gene
have been previously associated with lipid levels, especially in women, with some studies …
