Role of apoA-II in lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis: advances in the study of an enigmatic proteinF Blanco-Vaca
Servei de Bioquímica de l Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Antoni M Claret 167, 08025 Barcelona, Spain
J Lipid Res 42:1727-39. 2001..We suggest that the existence of apoA-II or apoA-I in HDL could be an important signal for specific interaction with HDL receptors such as cubilin or heat shock protein 60...
Expression of human apolipoprotein A-II in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice induces features of familial combined hyperlipidemiaJ C Escolà-Gil
Servei de Bioquímica de l Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, 08025 Barcelona, Spain
J Lipid Res 41:1328-38. 2000..We conclude that apoE-deficient mice overexpressing human apoA-II constitute useful animal models with which to study the mechanisms leading to overproduction of VLDL, and that apoA-II may function to regulate VLDL production...
ApoA-II expression in CETP transgenic mice increases VLDL production and impairs VLDL clearanceJ C Escolà-Gil
Servei de Bioquimica, de l Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, 08025 Barcelona, Spain
J Lipid Res 42:241-8. 2001..These results show CETP x apoA-II-Tg mice to be a good model with which to study mechanisms leading to VLDL overproduction and suggest that CETP and, in particular apoA-II, may play a role in the regulation of VLDL metabolism...
Phytosterols do not change susceptibility to obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes induced by a high-fat diet in miceL Calpe-Berdiel
Institut de Recerca, Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, 08025 Barcelona, Spain
Metabolism 57:1497-501. 2008..Phytosterol intake did not improve these metabolic parameters. Therefore, we were unable to substantiate any protective effect of phytosterol intake on diabetes development or regression in the mouse model used...
Low-density lipoprotein particle size, triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, and glucose tolerance in non-diabetic men with essential hypertensionJ Rubies-Prat
Department of Medicine, , Spain
Clin Exp Hypertens 23:489-500. 2001....
Overexpression of human apolipoprotein A-II in transgenic mice does not increase their susceptibility to insulin resistance and obesityJ C Escolà-Gil
Diabetologia 45:600-1. 2002
Structure of human apolipoprotein D: locations of the intermolecular and intramolecular disulfide linksC Y Yang
Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030
Biochemistry 33:12451-5. 1994..We conclude that apoD binds to lipoprotein surfaces through structures other than alpha-helices, such as disulfide links...
Emerging cardiovascular risk factors in subclinical hypothyroidism: lack of change after restoration of euthyroidismA Perez
Serveis d Endocrinologia, Bioquímica i Institut de Recerca, Hospital Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, 08025 Barcelona, Spain
Metabolism 53:1512-5. 2004..Monitoring of emerging risk factors did not offer additional arguments for treating patients with SH and, thus, is not justified in their clinical management...
