Abstract:
African Americans experience a disproportionate mortality, morbidity, and disability associated with ischemic stroke. Traditional risk factors offer some explanation for this finding, but novel risk factors have not been explored. APOE4 genotype, which is more prevalent in African Americans demonstrate a pro-inflammatory phenotype that may result in an exaggerated inflammatory response associated with ischemic stroke, resulting in worse outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among APOE genotypes, inflammatory markers (CD11β, platelet leukocyte aggregates, IL-1β, IL-6,

Abstract:
Human hepatic lipase (HL) is an interfacial enzyme that must be liberated from cell surface proteoglycans to hydrolyze lipoprotein triglyceride. HDL and apolipoprotein (apo)A-1 can displace HL from cell surface proteoglycans, much like heparin. HL displacement is inhibited by HDL-apoE content. Postprandial HDL is &sim;2-fold better at displacing HL than fasting HDL, but only has about half the apoE content. Enriching native HDL with triglyceride decreases HDL-apoE content and increases HL displacement. In contrast, enriching synthetic HDL with apoE significantly inhibits HL displacement. HDL f

Abstract:
<p> Alzheimer's disease (AD), unlike the other leading causes of death, does not have a cure or an effective intervention strategy. The largest genetic risk factor for AD is APOE, with the &epsiv;4 allele increasing and the &epsiv;2 allele decreasing one's risk for the disease. It remains unclear how ApoE isoforms contribute to various AD-related pathological changes (e.g. amyloid plaques, synaptic and neuron loss). Here, we characterize the differences between the at risk group for AD (the &epsiv;4 carriers) and the not-at risk group (non-&epsiv;4 carriers), to determine what underlies APOE-r

La enfermedad de Alzheimer es la forma mas común de demencia en edades avanzadas, la cual afecta a 40 millones de personas alrededor del mundo. Es una enfermedad compleja que afecta no solo a neuronas, sino también a astrocitos. La Apolipoproteína E4 (ApoE4) ha sido descrita como el factor de riesgo genético más importante de la forma esporádica de la enfermedad y además, los astrocitos son los principales secretores de esta. La investigación sobre los mecanismos patogénicos causados por esta apolipoproteína está centrada en su rol extracelular. Por el contrario, nosotros analizamos las desreg

Methods Sixty students (males and females) of the University of Limpopo, Turfloop Campus were successfully genotyped using Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and grouped into four APOE genotype groups; ε2, ε2/ε4, ε3 and ε4.

Abstract:
Apolipoprotein E (apoE denotes protein: APOE denotes gene) is a lipid-transport protein abundantly expressed in the brain and strongly upregulated after acute brain injury. The APOE e4 allele is the major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and has been associated with poorer outcome after various types of acute brain injury, including traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid haemorrhage. However, the role of APOE genotype in focal ischaemic stroke is less clear. The mechanism(s) by which APOE genotype may modulate outcome after acute brain injury are also unclear at present. Accor
