Structure and Function of Apolipoproteins
Structure and Function of Apolipoproteins presents a comprehensive review of the primary and secondary structure of apolipoproteins. The book discusses the structure of the apolipoprotein gene family and genetic variation occurring at the protein level. Functional properties of apolipoproteins, including lipid binding, enzyme co-factor activity, antigenic properties, and receptor-ligand interactions are extensively described and analyzed in relation to their structural features. Physiological properties of apolipoproteins and their role in biology and medicine are also examined. Anyone who is interested in apolipoproteins or is conducting research on atherosclerosis should consider this volume an essential reference.
HDL Metabolism and Diseases
This book focuses on both high-density lipoproteins (HDL) metabolism and related diseases from the perspectives of the world-class experts in HDL. Several chapters in this book provide the overall information about HDL metabolism via detailed discussion of HDL structures as well as several key molecules involved in its functions, such as SR-B1 and Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Inhibitors and so on. The rest of this book illustrates the connection between HDL and several diseases that are the major concerns of people’s health in many countries, and devotes to exploring the therapies of HDL related diseases. With a better understanding of the HDL metabolism and diseases, this book will benefit the audiences with interest in HDL from biomedicine to clinical practice.
Dyslipidemia
As part of the Oxford American Cardiology Library, this practical handbook is designed to serve as a concise yet authoritative resource on diagnosing and treating dyslipidemia.
High-Density Lipoproteins
This book meets the long-awaited need for a comprehensive overview of the biological role of HDLs. Edited by one of the pioneers in HDL and cholesterol research, this monograph summarizes current knowledge on HDL turnover, regulation and physiology. Clearly structured, the various sections cover HDL structure, formation, secretion and removal, as well as plasma metabolic factors. The biological activities and clinical aspects are equally discussed, as is the impact of HDL on common diseases and their prevention.
Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors: From Basic Science to Clinical Applications
Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors (PPARs) attract great attention in light of the wide spectrum of genes of biological and medical relevance identified as under their control. As a consequence, our knowledge of the role of these receptors in physiology and pathology continues to grow at a fast pace and PPARs have become an interesting target for the treatment of many pathological conditions, including diabetes and atherosclerosis. This volume provides an authoritative view of the current clinical and scientific developments within this evolving area of study.
Platelets, Thrombosis and the Vessel Wall
Platelets, Thrombosis and the Vessel Wall aims to highlight the key areas of platelet function in the regulation of haemostasis and thrombosis and covers areas such as platelet production, interaction of platelets with leucocytes, mechanisms of cross-talk between platelets, leukocytes, and endothelium. The two major clinical causes of thrombosis, anti-phospholipid antibodies and genetic predisposition, are also addressed.
High-Density Lipoproteins
A complete guide to the role of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in new and emerging therapies With high-density lipoproteins (HDL) playing an increasing role in cardiovascular disease prevention, there is a growing need for an in-depth look at HDL and its clinical value. This book summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field, providing for the first time a comprehensive, systematic, stylistically coherent, and up-to-date review of the composition, structure, heterogeneity, metabolism, epidemiology, genetics, and function of HDL. Divided into three main parts, High-Density Lipoproteins first examines normal HDL particles, then describes defective HDL, and finally addresses the thera...
Plasma Lipids and Their Role in Disease
This volume gives up-to-date information on plasma lipid transport, the various categories of plasma lipid disorders and the relationship between plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and atherosclerotic disease.
High Density Lipoproteins, Dyslipidemia, and Coronary Heart Disease
This innovative book focuses on HDL and its relationships to triglyceride-rich particles. It is an excellent resource for educating physicians and scientists about dyslipidemia and HDL metabolism, including many exogenous substances which interact with and influence HDL.
