2. 1. Lipoproteomics : Environmental and Genetic Factors Affecting High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)

   Author : Stefan Ljunggren; Mats Lindahl; Gun Wingren; Helen Karlsson; Jan Albert Kuivenhoven; Björn Dahlbäck; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Lipoprotein particles act as lipid transporters in the blood stream, and measuring cholesterol content in specific subclasses of lipoprotein particles has long been, and still is, a frequently used tool to estimate the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a subclass of lipoproteins often regarded as providing protection against CVD via several functions including reverse cholesterol transport and anti-inflammatory capacities.

4. 2. The regulation of blood coagulation by high-density lipoprotein particles

   Author : Cecilia Oslakovic; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : High-density lipoprotein (HDL) has anti-atherogenic properties and the plasma level of HDL cholesterol correlates inversely with the risk of coronary artery disease. The atheroprotective functions of HDL can be explained by its function in the reverse cholesterol transport. READ MORE

5. 3. Studies on scavenger receptor class B type I and genes implicated in foam cell formation

   Author : Per-Arne Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; scavenger receptor class B type I; high-density lipoprotein; oxidized low-density lipoprotein; macrophages; expression profiling;

   Abstract : The risk of atherosclerosis correlates with plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and is inversely correlated to plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Accumulation of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) by arterial macrophages is a key event in the development of atherosclerosis. READ MORE

6. 4. Structural studies of HDL and applications of EM on membrane proteins

   Author : Lin Zhu; Hans Hebert; Caroline Jegerschöld; Catherine Vénien-Bryan; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; high density lipoprotein; rHDL; apoA-I; transmission electron microscopy; membrane protein; nanodisc; Salipro; transporter; Technology and Health; Teknik och hälsa;

   Abstract : A large number of proteins interact with biological membranes, either integrated in the membrane (PepTSo2), embedded on a membrane surface (5-lipoxygenase) or encircling a cutout of lipid bilayer (apolipoprotein1 (apoA-I). They function as transporters, receptors or biocatalysts in cellular processes like inflammation or cholesterol transport which are touched upon here. READ MORE

7. 5. Co-assembly of proteins and lipids : From lipodiscs to amyloid aggregates

   Author : Rebecca Frankel Willén; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amyloid; Aβ42; apolipoprotein A-1; aggregation; high-density lipoprotein; DNAJB6; Alzheimer s disease; protein-lipid interactions;

   Abstract : Assemblies of different molecules is a prevalent phenomenon in nature, and crucial in biological life. Most of the biological assemblies are co-assembledcomposites, made up from several different components, either of thesame biomolecular type or a combination of different ones. READ MORE
