As described in this thesis, systemic regulation of lipoprotein metabolism and local modulation of macrophage cholesterol metabolism in the arterial wall are both attractive
Chapter 7 Important role for bone marrow-derived cholesteryl ester transfer protein in lipoprotein cholesterol redistribution and atherosclerotic lesion development
Both in mice and humans, the lipolysis of TG in HDL is efficiently catalyzed by hepatic lipase (HL), whereas the lipolysis of PL in HDL is catalyzed by endothelial
Different steps that control the delivery and disposal of cholesterol are regulated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which constitute a group of evolutionary highly
To study the therapeutic potential of upregulation of macrophage ABCA1 to prevent atherosclerosis, we determined atherosclerosis susceptibility of chimeras that
To study whether increasing ABCA1 would prevent progression or even induce regression of atherosclerosis, we determined atherosclerosis susceptibility of chimeras
The observed low HDL levels provides another possible explanation for the enhanced foam cell formation and increased susceptibility to atherosclerotic lesion development
localization of PLTP protein in livers of the transplanted PLTP +M/+M and PLTP -M/-M mice also clearly demonstrated a reduction in hepatic PLTP protein
