Plasma lipids and apoprotein A and B levels were measured in 63 children, of both sexes, in the age range 11-14 years. The children have been subjected to a blood drawing after a 12 hour fast at least. Statistical analysis proves that total cholesterol (TC) is positively correlated with triglycerides (TG), HDL cholesterol (HDL) with apolipoproteins A (Apo A), apolipoproteins A (Apo A) with apoproteins B (Apo B). In the end we confirm the utility of determining plasma lipids and apoproteins to estimate lipidic risk for atherosclerosis in pediatric age.

Developing multifactorial dementia prediction models using clinical variables from cohorts in the US and Australia.

Transl Psychiatry

January 2025

Translational Dementia Research Group, Centre for Immunology and Allergy Research, Westmead Institute for Medical Research, Sydney, NSW, 2145, Australia.

Existing dementia prediction models using non-neuroimaging clinical measures have been limited in their ability to identify disease. This study used machine learning to re-examine the diagnostic potential of clinical measures for dementia. Data was sourced from the Australian Imaging, Biomarkers, and Lifestyle Flagship Study of Ageing (AIBL) and the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI).

Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and leukocytes within the arterial wall. By studying the aortic transcriptome of atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E (ApoE) mice, we aimed to identify novel players in the progression of atherosclerosis.

Methods: RNA-Seq analysis was performed on aortas from ApoE and wild-type mice.

Sex differences in cognition, anxiety-phenotype and therapeutic effect of metformin in the aged apoE-TR mice.

Biol Sex Differ

Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery Research Institute, Institute of Neurology, Fujian Provincial Institutes of Brain Disorders and Brain Sciences, The First Affiliated Hospital, Binhai Branch of National Regional Medical Center, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, Fujian, 350005, China.

Background: Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), depression, and anxiety, which were reported to improve after the administration of metformin. However, sex influence on the effect of ApoE4 and metformin on cognition and mental health is poorly understood.

Methods: ApoE3-TR and apoE4-TR mice of both sexes were randomly assigned to the normal saline and metformin groups from 13 months to 18 months of age.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is caused by modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Randomised controlled trials have investigated whether the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, APOE4, impacts the effectiveness of exercise on health. Systematic reviews are yet to evaluate the effect of exercise on physical and cognitive outcomes in APOE genotyped participants.

Research on the aetiology of neural tube defects (NTDs) has made progress in recent years. However, the molecular mechanism of apolipoproteins underlying NTDs development remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the function of apolipoprotein M (ApoM) in the pathogenesis of NTDs and its underlying mechanisms.
