background: cholesteryl ester transfer protein (cetp) plays a main role in high-density lipoprotein metabolism. cetp gene possesses several single nucleotide polymorphisms which have been associated with plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c) concentrations. the aim of this study was to determine the association of cetp -629c/a and i405v polymorphisms with coronary artery disease (...

Background: The association between coronary artery disease and androgenic alopecia has been demonstrated, but few studies have focused on the mechanism of this association. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile in male pattern alopecia.Methods: In this case control study, 45 male patients with androgenic alopecia who were aged from 20 to 50 years and 45 men with a norma...

Lp(a) is a major inherited risk factor associated with premature heart disease and stroke. The mechanism of Lp(a) atherogenicity has not been elucidated, but likely involves both its ability to influence plasminogen activation as well as its atherogenic potential as a lipoprotein particle after receptor-mediated uptake. We demonstrate that fibroblasts expressing the human VLDL receptor can medi...

Normal human plasma lipoprotein system consists of four distinct lipoprotein families referred to as LP-A,* LP-B, LP-C, and LP-D [l-4]. In the density above 1.019 g/ml, the lipoprotein families occur mainly as separate physicochemical entities [3, 51. However, in the density below 1.019 gJrn1 the lipoprotein families B and C and, if present, lipoprotein families A and D form an association comp...

We include here several technical appendices. First, we formally derive the expressions for c l and b vote p that appear in section two of the paper. The next contains some details on the choice theoretic model underlying the standard topic model. The remainder contain the details for implementing the SFA model. A The Legislator and Proposal Intercepts from the Voting Model Let’s start with the...

Low-power resistive random access memory (LP-ReRAM) devices have attracted increasing attention owing to their advantages of low operation power. In this study, a vertical-type LP-ReRAM consisting of TiN/Ti/HfO2/TiN structure was fabricated. The switching mechanism for LP-ReRAM was elucidated as the conductive filament mechanism for conventional mode, and an interface-type switching mechanism f...

background: unstable angina and myocardial infarction are developed due to atherosclerosis of coronary arteries. at present, cholestrol, triglyceride, and lipoproteins are the most common risk factors of death. the purpose of this study was to assess the serum levels of lp (a), ldl-c, vldl-c, hdl-c in cases of unstable angina and myocardial infarction.methods: this study was conducted to compar...

Our understanding of the pathophysiological role of lipoprotein (a) in cardiovascular disease and its clinical importance has improved, but there are still gaps in our knowledge and analytical performance that hinder the appropriate management of patients. Further information about the physiological functions of lipoprotein (a), if any, and its interactions with other risk factors is required.
