Arterial retention of remnant lipoproteins ex-vivo is increased during insulin resistance due to increased arterial biglycan and production of cholesterol-rich atherogenic particles, that can be improved by ezetimibe in the JCR:LA-cp rat

Russell, James C., Proctor, Spencer D., Uwiera, Richard R. E., Vine, Donna F., Mangat, Rabban, Hassanali, Zahra, Cheeseman, Christopher I., Borthwick, Faye, Warnakula, Samantha
Background Literature supports the “response-to-retention” hypothesis—that during insulin resistance, impaired metabolism of remnant lipoproteins can contribute to accelerated cardiovascular disease progression. We used the JCR:LA-cp rat model of metabolic syndrome (MetS) to determine the extent...

Biology and Prognostic Value of N-Myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) and NMT2 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
DownloadFall 2017
Myristoylation is the post-translational modification of proteins with a 14-carbon fatty- acid by N-myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) or NMT2. Myristoylation is key to protein membrane binding and cell survival. Bioinformatics data suggests NMT mRNA expression impacts overall survival (OS) in AML. We...
