Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL)
Triglyceride (TG) or more accurately triacylglycerol is simply a compound of three acyl groups (fatty acids) attached to a glycerol molecule. They are easily measured in the laboratory and reported as serum TG level: it actually refers to all of the TG that are being trafficked within all of the lipoproteins that exist in a deciliter of plasma. A physiologic fasting TG concentration is on avera...
متن کاملThe very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor: characterization and functions as a peripheral lipoprotein receptor.
The very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor is a member of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that VLDL receptor binds triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins but not LDL, and functions as a peripheral remnant lipoprotein receptor. VLDL receptor is expressed abundantly in fatty acid-active tissues (heart, skeletal muscle and fat), the bra...
متن کاملVery low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-induced signals mediating aldosterone production.
Aldosterone, secreted by the adrenal zona glomerulosa, enhances sodium retention, thus increasing blood volume and pressure. Excessive production of aldosterone results in high blood pressure and contributes to cardiovascular and renal disease, stroke and visual loss. Hypertension is also associated with obesity, which is correlated with other serious health risks as well. Although weight gain ...

متن کاملMembrane receptors for very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) inhibitor of lymphocyte proliferation.
Physiologic concentrations of human plasma very low density lipoproteins inhibit the DNA synthesis of lymphocytes stimulated by allogeneic cells or lectins. In this report we have compared the effects of isolated lipoproteins [very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), and high density lipoproteins (HDL)] and lipoprotein-depleted plasma (LDP) on DNA synthesis by phyto...
