A modern approach to dyslipidemia.

TL;DR: In this paper, an updated approach to diagnosis and risk assessment may include measurement of secondary lipid variables such as apolipoprotein B and Lipoprotein(a), together with selective use of genetic testing to diagnose rare monogenic dyslipidemias such as familial hypercholesterolemia or familial chylomicronemia syndrome.

Physiological roles of mammalian transmembrane adenylyl cyclase isoforms

TL;DR: The transmembrane AC isoforms partition to different microdomains of the plasma membrane and form prearranged signaling complexes with specific GPCRs that contribute to cAMP signaling compartments as discussed by the authors .

Physiological Roles of Mammalian Transmembrane Adenylyl Cyclase Isoforms.

TL;DR: Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) catalyze the conversion of ATP to the ubiquitous second messenger cAMP as mentioned in this paper, and Mammals possess nine isoforms of transmembrane ACs, dubbed AC1-9, that serve as major effector enzyme.

Cardiovascular efficacy and safety of bococizumab in high-risk patients

TL;DR: In two randomized trials comparing the PCSK9 inhibitor bococizumab with placebo, bococzumab had no benefit with respect to major adverse cardiovascular events in the trial involving lower‐risk patients but did have a significant benefit in the Trial involving higher‐risk Patients.
