The specific binding of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to a number of cell and membrane types has been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the ligand specificity of HDL binding sites on bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells and in particular to investigate the role of apo A-II in the interaction. In order to do this we prepared AII-HDL3 particles by incubating HDL3 with apo HDL. These particles were enriched in apo A-II, contained virtually no apo A-I, and were similar to HDL3 in terms of size and lipid composition. As these particles resemble the native HDL3 structure we believe they are probably a more suitable model for investigation of ligand specificity than artificial recombinants. AII-HDL3 particles were shown to bind to cells with similar affinity and capacity as HDL3. Further experiments indicated that HDL3 and AII-HDL3 competed with each other for binding and displayed similar affinities for a common binding site(s). The results suggest that apo A-II, as well as apo A-I, play an important role in the process of HDL recognition by putative HDL receptors on endothelial cells.

Proteinogram is a semiquantitative method specially used in clinic to separate the serum proteins from patients for use in the diagnosis of diseases. However, this methodology has only been applied very recently with this approach in farmed fish. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the changes in the serum proteinogram of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), after triggering an acute or chronic sterile inflammation.

Identifying biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is crucial, due to its complex pathology, which involves dysfunction in lipid transport, contributing to neuroinflammation, synaptic loss, and impaired amyloid-β clearance. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is able to quantify and stratify lipoproteins. The study investigated lipoproteins in blood from AD patients, aiming to evaluate their diagnostic potential.

The ability of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to promote cellular cholesterol efflux is a more robust predictor of cardiovascular disease protection than HDL-cholesterol levels in plasma. Previously, we found that lipidated HDL containing both apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) and A-II (APOA2) promotes cholesterol efflux via the ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCA1). In the current study, we directly added purified, lipid-free APOA2 to human plasma and found a dose-dependent increase in whole plasma cholesterol efflux capacity.

Given the failure of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) raising therapies to reduce cardiovascular disease risk, attention has turned towards HDL composition and vascular protective functions. In individuals with insulin resistance, exercise interventions recover HDL function. However, the effect of exercise on HDL in otherwise healthy individuals is unknown.

Background And Aims: The structure-function relationships of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subpopulations are not well understood. Our aim was to examine the interrelationships between HDL particle proteome and HDL functionality in subjects with and without coronary heart disease (CHD).
Methods: We isolated 5 different HDL subpopulations based on charge, size, and apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1) content from the plasma of 33 overweight/obese CHD patients and 33 age-and body mass index (BMI)-matched CHD-free subjects.
