1. Nanotechnology for the treatment of deep endometriosis: uptake of lipid core nanoparticles by LDL receptors in endometriotic foci
OBJECTIVE: Rapidly dividing cells in multiple types of cancer and inflammatory diseases undergo high low density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake for membrane synthesis, and coupling an LDL-like nanoemulsion, containing lipid nanoparticles (LDE) to a chemotherapeutic agent efficiently targets these cells without significant systemic effects. This was a prospective

2. Methotrexate associated to lipid core nanoparticles improves cardiac allograft vasculopathy and the inflammatory profile in a rabbit heart graft model
Coronary allograft vasculopathy is an inflammatory-proliferative process that compromises the long-term success of heart transplantation and has no effective treatment. A lipid nanoemulsion (LDE) can carry chemotherapeutic agents in the circulation and concentrates them in the heart graft. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of methotrexate (

3. Adiponectin inhibits oxidization-induced differentiation of T helper cells through inhibiting costimulatory CD40 and CD80
Adiponectin is a multifunctional adipokine that has several oligomeric forms in the blood stream, which broadly regulates innate and acquired immunity. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to observe the differentiation of T helper (Th) cells and expression of costimulatory signaling molecules affected by adiponectin. The mRNA and protein expression levels of

4. Efeito de hipolipemiantes sobre a expressão de genes envolvidos no transporte reverso do colesterol / Statin effects on expression of genes involved in reverse cholesterol transport
The efficacy of statins in reducing the risk of coronary events is not completely explained by their effects in decreasing cholesterol low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C). One of their additional effects may result from the change in concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), recognized as atheroprotective, mainly for the role in reverse cholesterol transp

5. Albumina modificada por glicação avançada no diabete melito tipo 1 e 2 prejudica o transporte reverso de colesterol e favorece o acúmulo de lípides em macrófagos / Impairment in reverse cholesterol transport and macrophage lipid accumulation induced by advanced glycated albumin drawn from uncontrolled type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
Advanced glycation end products are prevalent in diabetes mellitus and alter lipids and lipoprotein metabolism. In this study we analyzed the role of albumin, isolated from control individuals (C, n = 12) and uncontrolled type 1 (DM 1, n = 13) and type 2 (DM 2, n = 11) diabetes mellitus patients on macrophage cholesterol removal, intracellular lipid accumula

6. Metabolism of a lipid nanoemulsion resembling low-density lipoprotein in patients with grade III obesity
INTRODUCTION: Obesity increases triglyceride levels and decreases high-density lipoprotein concentrations in plasma. Artificial emulsions resembling lipidic plasma lipoprotein structures have been used to evaluate low-density lipoprotein metabolism. In grade III obesity, low density lipoprotein metabolism is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the kine

7. Captação celular de uma nanoemulsão semelhante a LDL (LDE): efeito da variação na composição química e expressão de receptores de lipoproteínas / Low density lipoprotein like (LDE) nanoemulsion cell uptake: chemical composition and lipoprotein receptor expression
A nanoemulsão LDE tem composição lipídica semelhante à da LDL natural e é utilizada para estudos do metabolismo da LDL. Estudos anteriores mostraram que a LDE é captada pelas células pelo LDL-r, porém outros receptores podem estar envolvidos nesta captação, como LRP-1, CD36 e CD68. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: investigar a captação da LDE po

8. Effects ot genetic hypercholesterolemia on the glycemic homeostasis and insulin secretion in LDL recptor knockout mice ( LDLR POT. -/- ) / Efeito da hipercolesterolemia genetica sobre a homeostase glicemica e secreção de insulina em camundongos knockout para o recptor de LDL ( LDLR POT. -/- )
In this work, we investigated whether primary hyperlipidemia per se, independently of a high-fat diet, affects glycemia and insulin secretion stimulated by several secretagogues in hypercholesterolemic low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice (LDLR-/-). In addition, we investigated the possible mechanisms involved in the release of this hormone. We fou

9. Saturation and suppression of hepatic lipoprotein receptors: a mechanism for the hypercholesterolemia of cholesterol-fed rabbits.
Cholesterol-fed rabbits develop a marked in crease in plasma cholesterol levels. Most of the excess plasma cholesterol is contained in beta-migrating very low density lipoprotein (beta-VLDL), a cholesterol-rich particle that contains apoproteins B and E. When 125I-labeled beta-VLDL from cholesterol-fed rabbits was injected intravenously into normal rabbits,

10. Platelet-derived growth factor stimulates activity of low density lipoprotein receptors.
Partially purified platelet-derived growth factor stimulates low density lipoprotein binding and degradation in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells of monkeys by increasing the number of available low density lipoprotein receptors. When platelet-derived growth factor was added to quiescent cells, low density lipoprotein binding increased within 4-8 hr. Stimu

11. An apolipoprotein E synthetic peptide targets to lipoproteins in plasma and mediates both cellular lipoprotein interactions in vitro and acute clearance of cholesterol-rich lipoproteins in vivo.
Apolipoprotein (apo) E mediates lipoprotein binding to cellular lipoprotein receptors. Previously we reported that a synthetic peptide representing a linear dimeric repeat of amino acids 141-155 binds cellular LDL receptors. To prepare an apoE peptide that bound to both cholesterol-rich lipoproteins and lipoprotein receptors, an NH2-terminal acetylated apoE

12. Esterification of Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Human Fibroblasts and Its Absence in Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
A new mechanism is described for the cellular esterification of cholesterol derived from extra-cellular lipoproteins. Incubation of monolayers of cultured fibroblasts from normal human subjects with low density lipoproteins led to a 30- to 40-fold increase in the rate of incorporation of either [14C]acetate or [14C]oleate into the fatty acid fraction of chol
