Remnant lipoproteins (RLPs) accumulate in type III hyperlipoproteinemia, a condition associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity. The effect of RLPs on fibrinolysis is unknown. Our aim was to study the effect of RLPs on endothelial expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). After 24-h culture of human aortic endothelial cells with RLPs at concentrations of 0 (control), 0.038, or 0.076 mg triglyceride/mL, postculture PAI-1 antigen concentrations were: 870 +/- 80, 1963 +/- 183 (P = 0.005), and 3551 +/- 177 ng/mL (P < 0.001), respectively. Furthermore, after 24-h incubation of endothelial cells with RLPs (0 or 0.076 mg triglyceride/mL), PAI-1 activity increased from 0.667 +/- 0.144 to 1.268 +/- 0.198 U/mL, respectively (P = 0.008) and endothelial PAI-1 mRNA increased to 2.7 +/- 0.66 that of control (P = 0.048). In conclusion, RLPs from patients with type III hyperlipoproteinemia induce endothelial cell PAI-1 expression, which may contribute to a prothrombotic state.

In health, the liver is a metabolically flexible organ that plays a key role in regulating systemic lipid and glucose concentrations. There is a constant flux of fatty acids (FAs) to the liver from multiple sources, including adipose tissue, dietary, endogenously synthesized from non-lipid precursors, intrahepatic lipid droplets and recycling of triglyceride-rich remnants. Within the liver, FAs are used for triglyceride synthesis, which can be oxidized, stored or secreted in very low-density lipoproteins into the systemic circulation.

Hormonal changes throughout a woman's life cycle significantly affect serum lipid levels. Alterations in the serum lipid profile can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Additionally, nutrition and dietary habits are crucial for managing dyslipidemia.

The relationship between lipid profiles, telomere length (TL), and cancer risk remains unclear. This study employed two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) with mediation analysis to investigate their causal relationships, examining lipid profiles as exposure, TL as mediator, and nine cancer types as outcomes. We conducted our analysis using two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression integrated with inverse variance weighted (IVW) methods to address potential endogeneity and strengthen our causal inference.

Background: The ABO blood group system has shown an association with cardiovascular disease. The susceptibility to CVD is proposed to be partly mediated by dyslipidaemia in non-O individuals. Previous studies are scarce for the RhD blood group, but we recently showed that RhD - young individuals are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis.

Background: Recent evidence from both randomized controlled trials and cohort studies in adults suggests that plasma remnant cholesterol (RC) levels predict cardiovascular disease. In children, studies are scarce, although high levels of RC might represent a marker of early atherosclerotic damage. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the cardiometabolic risk associated with RC, which extends beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) in children.
