Apolipoproteins and Diabetic Retinopathy

In this issue of Diabetes Care Sasongko et al. (1) make the intriguing observation that apolipoprotein (apo)B and apoA-I, and particularly the apoB-toapoA-I ratio, are related to the presence of diabetic retinopathy in a small cohort of type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. Moreover, this ratio correlated with the retinopathy severity and also was a better predictor of retinopathy than tradition...

Apolipoproteins in human cerebrospinal fluid.

The presence of apolipoproteins A-I, E, C-II, and C-III and the absence of apolipoprotein B was demonstrated in human cerebrospinal fluid. The concentration of apolipoproteins was measured by electroimmunoassay. Apolipoproteins E, C-II, and C-III were present in cerebrospinal fluid at 3--5% of their concentration in plasma; the cerebrospinal fluid level of apolipoprotein A-I was 0.4%. Most of t...
