TL;DR: (+)-Catechin inhibited the copper-catalysed oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL) in a dose-dependent manner with complete inhibition at 20 micrograms/mL and appeared to inhibit the uptake and degradation by macrophages of cell-modified LDL.

TL;DR: Current knowledge of the role of MTP in the assembly and secretion of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins, and the regulation of its activity in both animal and cell systems are summarized.

TL;DR: The ability of a variety of mono- and bicyclic monoterpenes to inhibit hepatic HMGCoA reductase measured 17 hr after in vivo administration to rats was determined, indicating that the effect was specific rather than due to generalized hepatoxicity.

TL;DR: On a low-cholesterol diet, increasing the absolute amount of dietary palmitic acid increases LDL-ch cholesterol more than either myristic or stearic acid, suggesting effects on lipoprotein metabolism may be exerted through specific modulation of the expression of the LDL receptor and apolipoprotein B genes.

TL;DR: The study shows that microsomal triglycerol transfer protein mRNA is raised in diabetes without an increase in apolipoprotein B48 in the lymph suggesting that micromolecular triglyceride transfer protein regulates chylomicron triglyceride content but not particle number.
