Evidence supporting the hypothesis that one of the main functions of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor is mediation of cell stress responses

We have previously proposed that one of the major consequences of activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) could be elicitation of ‘cell stress response’ reactions [Matsumura, Biochem...

Influence of apolipoprotein E polymorphism on serum lipid and lipoprotein changes: a 21-year follow-up study from childhood to adulthood. The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study

Background: We examined the influence of apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism on longitudinal changes in serum lipids by following the subjects participating in The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study over a 21-year period.

Methods: Serum lipids were determined in randomly selected Finnish children and adolescents in 1980 and the subjects were re-examined in 1983, 1986 and after 21 years in 2001...

Keywords: apolipoprotein E polymorphism, cardiovascular risk factors, cholesterol, lipids, long-term follow-up

Paired helical filaments contain small amounts of cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine and sphingolipids

By using qualitative and quantitative high-performance thin layer chromatography (hpTLC) we found lipids associated with purified Alzheimer's (AD) paired helical filaments (PHF) in an amount of 1.4±0.2% of the total anhydrous mass...
