  1. 1. Mechanisms for and consequences of cellular lipid accumulation - Role of the Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor

    Författare :Jeanna Perman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :very low density lipoprotein receptor; lipid accumulation;

    Sammanfattning : Lipid accumulation in non adipose tissue is associated with various cases of tissue dysfunction and tissue failure. Reduced availability of oxygen is known to cause intracellular lipid accumulation in cardiomyocytes as well as in hearts. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Assembly and Secretion of Atherogenic Lipoproteins

    Författare :Caroline Beck; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :very low-density lipoprotein; ; apolipoprotein B100; ; B-cell receptor associated; microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; ; secretion; assembly;

    Sammanfattning : The classical dyslipidemia seen in patients with type 2 diabetes is characterized by elevated serum triglycerides (TG), low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the appearance of small, dense low-density lipoproteins (LDL). It is now recognized that the different components of diabetic dyslipidemia are not isolated abnormalities but are closely linked to each other metabolically, and are initiated by the hepatic overproduction of large triglyceride-rich very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL1).

  4. 3. Platelet-activating factor and lysophospatidylcholine in oxidized low density lipoprotein-mediated immune activation

    Författare :Yihui Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :atherosclerosis; oxidized LDL; platelet-activating factor PAF ; Iysophosphatidylcholine LPC ; anti-MHC class II antibodies; antibody; T cells; cytokine; IFN-[gamma]; IL-6; IL-4; TNF-[alpha]; a PAF specific receptor antagonist-WEB2170;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammation is a risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease, as in addition to known risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking and diabetes. Patients with inflammatory diseases including SLE have an enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Studies on lipoprotein metabolism and atherogenesis

    Författare :Katharina Slätis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :ApoA1; ApoB; ApoE; atherosclerosis; bile acids; cholic acid; cholesterol; cholesterol absorption; CYP7A1; CYP8B1; dexamethasone; GC-1; PAI-1; thyroid hormone receptor; very low density lipoprotein receptor;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of cardiovascular events such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, which together with stroke are responsible for around 50% of all deaths in the United States and Europe. Usually atherosclerosis develops over several decades and leads to a progressive narrowing of arterial vessels. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins : postprandial metabolism and composition in relation to atherosclerosis

    Författare :Johan Björkegren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :triglyceride-rich lipoproteins; very low density lipoproteins; chylomicrons; lipoprotein remnants; apolipoprotein E and C; cholesterol; atherosclerosis;

    Sammanfattning : A relationship between postprandial lipaemia and coronary heart disease (CHD) was established as early as the 1950s. Since then, most attention has been paid to postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) of intestinal origin, i.e. chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants, whereas TRLs of hepatic origin, i.
