Of the remaining 38 children, 23 had non-hereditary abnormalities of low (LDL) or high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol or apolipoprotein B. Fifteen children were suspected to have genetically determined dyslipidemias or a combination of risk factors: in four, possible familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH); in five, possible familial combined hyperlipidaemia; in three, hereditary low HDL cholesterol; and in three a combination of high LDL cholesterol and Lp(a) lipoprotein concentrations.
The association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) as well as apolipoprotein B polymorphisms and dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease (CAD) is controversial.
Hammerhead ribozyme as a therapeutic agent for hyperlipidemia: production of truncated apolipoprotein B and hypolipidemic effects in a dyslipidemia murine model.
After 40 weeks of 40 mg atorvastatin treatment decreases in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B of 40%, 43%, and 41%, respectively, were observed in the combined dyslipidaemia group, and of 46%, 40%, and 43% in the dysbetalipoproteinaemic patients.
The present study has shown that the S1 allele of APOC3 SstI polymorphism and the H- allele of LPL HindIII polymorphism might have a small effect on apoB levels in the Central European Caucasian population with dyslipidemia of metabolic syndrome.
The link between hepatic insulin signaling and apolipoprotein B (apoB) production has important implications in understanding the etiology of metabolic dyslipidemia commonly observed in insulin-resistant states.
Atherogenic dyslipidemia is associated with increased levels of chylomicrons and their remnants containing 3 main components: apolipoprotein B-48, triglycerides and cholesterol ester of intestinal origin.
Association of polymorphisms at restriction enzyme recognition sites of apolipoprotein B and E gene with dyslipidemia in children undergoing primary nephrotic syndrome.
Purpose of this review is to discuss the available data on the effects of various ASO used for the treatment of dyslipidemia, with the main focus on ASO against ApoB-100, the most advanced in clinical development, and on PCSK9.
In the present study, the case of an 18‑year‑old male who presented with MS characteristics with central obesity (overweight and a waist circumference of 95 cm) and dyslipidemia (high TG, low HDL levels and low apoA‑I/apoB‑100) was reported.
In this article we reviewed some of the current therapeutic targets for the treatment of dyslipidemia, with a primary focus on endothelial lipase and lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase for raising HDL-C, and the proprotein convertase subtilisin-like kexin type 9 (PCSK9), microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, and the messenger RNA of apolipoprotein B for lowering LDL-C.
In individuals with mixed dyslipidemia rare synonymous variants within LPL gene were associated with attenuated response to FA therapy while APOCIII rare variants were associated with a modest effect on APOB response to FA-statin therapy.
In this review, we focus on dyslipidemia drug targets traceable to human genetic studies, including statins and ezetimibe, as well as promising new classes such as inhibitors of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9, apolipoprotein B, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, cholesteryl ester transfer protein, angiopoietin-like proteins types 3 and 4 and apolipoprotein C-III.
The prevalence of dyslipidemia, with elevations in total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride (TG), and apolipoprotein B (ApoB), and a reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels are about 30% at the diagnosis of SLE rising to 60% after 3 years.
Substitution of dietary ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids for saturated fatty acids decreases LDL apolipoprotein B-100 production rate in men with dyslipidemia associated with insulin resistance: a randomized controlled trial.
