AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The uptake of acetaldehyde-modified (ethylated) low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) by murine peritoneal macrophages is described and compared with the uptake of acetylated LDLs. The fluorescent marker DiI was used. No competition between ethylated and acetylated LDLs was observed. Ethylated LDL uptake was not inhibited by polyinosinic acid or fucoidin. Our conclusion is that uptake of ethylated and acetylated LDLs can be done by two different receptors.

MicroRNA 223 Enhances ABCA1 Protein Stability and Supports Efflux in Cholesterol-Burdened Macrophages.

Macrophages are present in all vertebrates as part of the innate immune system, which protects from pathogens and scavenges sterol rich, cellular debris and modified lipoproteins. Thus, resident macrophages are prone to excessive levels of intracellular cholesterol esters. Intramacrophage cholesterol esters can efflux via cell surface transporters, ABCA1 and ABCG1, to lipoprotein carriers such as apo-AI and HDL.

Background & Aim: Dietary shifts replacing animal protein (AP) with plant protein (PP) sources have been associated with lowering cardiometabolic risk (CMR), but underlying mechanisms are poorly characterized. This nutritional intervention aims to characterize the metabolic changes induced by diets containing different proportions of AP and PP sources in males at CMR.
Design: This study is a 4-week, crossover, randomized, controlled-feeding trial in which 19 males with CMR followed two diets providing either 36 % for the control diet (CON-D) or 64 % for the flexitarian diet (FLEX-D) of total protein intake from PP sources.
Phenotypic, Metabolic, and Functional Characterization of Experimental Models of Foamy Macrophages: Toward Therapeutic Research in Atherosclerosis.

Different types of macrophages (Mφ) are involved in atherogenesis, including inflammatory Mφ and foamy Mφ (FM). Our previous study demonstrated that two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) imaging of NADH and FAD autofluorescence (AF) could distinguish experimental models that mimic the different atherosclerotic Mφ types. The present study assessed whether optical differences correlated with phenotypic and functional differences, potentially guiding diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Background: Women with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have a 50% excess risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) than men with T2D. We compared circulating metabolites and their associations with CHD in men and women across glycemic status.
Methods: We used metabolomic data (lipoproteins, fatty acids, amino acids, glycolysis, ketones, inflammation, and fluid balance) for 87,326 CHD-free UK Biobank participants.

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are highly specialized endothelial cells (ECs) that play an important role in liver development and regeneration. Additionally, it is involved in various pathological processes, including steatosis, inflammation, fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the rapid dedifferentiation of LSECs after culture greatly limits their use in vitro modeling for biomedical applications.
