An improved method for estimating low LDL-C based on the enhanced Sampson-NIH equation
The accurate measurement of Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is critical in the decision to utilize the new lipid-lowering therapies like PCSK9-inhibitors (PCSK9i) for high-risk cardiovascular disea... (Source: Lipids in Health and Disease)

Elevated serum LDL-C increases the risk of Lewy body dementia: a two-sample mendelian randomization study
Lewy body dementia (LBD) ranks second among prevalent neurodegenerative dementias. Previous studies have revealed associations of serum lipid measures with several neurodegenerative diseases. Nevertheless, the... (Source: Lipids in Health and Disease)

Non-lamellar lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles as nanocarriers for enhanced drug encapsulation of atorvastatin calcium and proanthocyanidins
Chem Phys Lipids. 2024 Feb 5:105377. doi: 10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2024.105377. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtorvastatin calcium (ATV) and proanthocyanidins (PAC) have a strong antioxidant activity, that can benefit to reduce the atherosclerotic plaque progression. Unfortunately, the bioavailability of ATV is greatly reduced due to its limited drug solubility while the PAC drug is unstable upon exposure to the atmospheric oxygen. Herein, the lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LLCNPs) constructed by a binary mixture of soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and citric acid ester of monoglyceride (citrem) at different weight ...

Micelle formation of sodium taurolithocholate
This study investigated the aggregate properties of the NaTLC using surface tension measurements, light scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). Surface tension measurement showed that the surface tension of the NaTLC solution decreased to 54 mN m-1. The concentration that showed the minimum surface tension corresponded to the critical micelle concentration (CMC: 0.6 mmol L-1, 308 K) determined by the change in light scattering intensity. On the other hand, the degree of counterion (sodium ions) binding to the micelles increased with increasing NaTLC concentrati...

Comparison of structural effects of cholesterol, lanosterol, and oxysterol on phospholipid (POPC) bilayers
Chem Phys Lipids. 2024 Feb 6;259:105376. doi: 10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2024.105376. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMembrane sterols contribute to the function of biomembranes by regulating the physical properties of the lipid bilayers. Cholesterol, a typical mammalian sterol, is biosynthesized by oxidation of lanosterol. From a molecular evolutionary perspective, lanosterol is considered the ancestral molecule of cholesterol. Here, we studied whether cholesterol is superior to lanosterol in regulating the physical properties of the lipid bilayer in terms of the structural effect on model biomembranes composed of a phospholipid...
