Sentences with phrase «cholesterol transport»

We are also studying how apoAI can become dysfunctional so that it can no longer participate in reverse cholesterol transport.

We plan to apply two recently developed approaches to investigate the distribution and molecular mechanisms of cholesterol transport in C. elegans.

An effect of walnuts on ex vivo cholesterol efflux was observed with whole serum but not apoB - depleted serum; in addition to HDL, LDL can serve as an acceptor of free cholesterol in the reverse cholesterol transport pathway (39), indicating that walnuts may have a greater effect on global cholesterol efflux than HDL - specific efflux.

Various nutritional factors found in whole food diets have been found to assist in reverse cholesterol transport (including phospholipids, CLA, and polyphenols).

October 25, 1997 Scientists closing in on how increased Alzheimer's risk is linked to fat and cholesterol transport in the brain Scientists studying the brain are learning how the removal of cholesterol and the proper delivery of fatty compounds are vital for the healthy function of the brain, in an effort to understand how these processes gone awry can lead to Alzheimer's disease.

We conclude that apolipoprotein E does not function to remove cholesterol from macrophages but rather to participate in «reverse cholesterol transport.»

Reverse cholesterol transport, the process by which HDL removes cholesterol from plaque in the arteries and transports it to the liver where it is used to produce hormonal compounds or eliminated from the body.

We believe that we can help prevent Aβ deposition in the brain by influencing lipid metabolism and cholesterol transport.

We believe that we can help prevent amyloid - beta deposition in the brain by influencing lipid metabolism and cholesterol transport

By shutting down cholesterol transport and movement, the exceptionally active survival communication that cancer cells require is shut down.

Cholesterol transport is an essential process in all multicellular organisms.

Leelamine works by shutting down cholesterol transport and its movement around the cancer cell.

The mechanism by which macrophages get rid of excess cholesterol is via a protective process known as reverse cholesterol transport.

In addition to fat and cholesterol transport, LDL and HDL both have immune functions.

(In humans as well as animals, apolipoprotein E plays an important role in cholesterol transport, so a deficiency of this protein increases risk for the development of atherosclerosis.)

[16] Think about this — all of this extra 100g of cholesterol, 3x the usual whole body content, was eventually removed by reverse cholesterol transport.

Insulin is what makes your cells hoard cholesterol, and it's also one of the things that can mess with reverse cholesterol transport.
