The influence of different plasma triglyceride concentrations on the heterogeneity of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and on the susceptibility of LDL to copper oxidation was investigated. By density gradient ultracentrifugation, LDL subfractions were isolated from the plasma of 10 normolipidemic control subjects and 12 hypertriglyceridemic patients both before and after clofibrate treatment. In ...

Plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) facilitates intravascular lipoprotein remodeling by promoting the heteroexchange of neutral lipids. To determine whether the degree of triglyceridemia may influence the CETP-mediated redistribution of HDL CE between atherogenic plasma lipoprotein particles in type 2 diabetes, we evaluated CE mass transfer from HDL to apoB-containing lipoprotein a...

Diffusion coefficients are essential microphysics input for modeling white dwarf evolution, as they impact phase separation at crystallization and sedimentary heat sources. Present schemes computing diffusion accurate weak coupling ($\Gamma \ll 1$), but have errors large a factor of two in the strongly coupled liquid regime ($1 \lesssim \Gamma 200$). With modern molecular dynamics codes it is p...

Synaptic vesicles undergo a maturation step, termed priming, in which they become competent to fuse with the plasma membrane. To morphologically define the site of vesicle priming and identify fusion-competent synaptic vesicles, we combined a rapid physical-fixation technique with immunogold staining and high-resolution morphometric analysis at Caenorhabditis elegans neuromuscular junctions. In...
