Saturated and unsaturated free fatty acids (FFA) modulate differently HDL uptake in hepatoma HEPG2 cells

A novel mutation in the Lipase Maturaction Factor 1 (LMF-1)gene responsible for severe hypertriglyceridemia

The PCSK9 gene: a new gene controlling cholesterolemia

The distribution of cholesterol plasma is regulated by complex interactions between genes and environmental factors. Mutations of PCSK9 gene seem to modulate the levels of LDLC. Mutations of PCSK9 gene with gain of function are associated to hypercholesterolemia and mutations with loss of function determine hypocholesterolemia.

PCSK9-D374Y mediated LDL-R degradation can be functionally inhibited by EGF-A and truncated EGF-A peptides. An in vitro study

LDL size, density and receptor affinity variation during an oral load in mild hyper-triglyceridemic and normal subjects
