High-density lipoproteins regulation mechanisms

The third, and perhaps least understood, mechanism regulating contact pheromone production involves its transport to the cuticular surface. The detection of large amounts of hydrocarbons and pheromone internally, within the hemolymph, prompted an examination of lipid transport in B. germanica. Gu et al. (1995) and Sevala etal. (1997) isolated and purified a high density lipoprotein, lipophorin, that carries hydrocarbons, contact pheromone, and JH within the hemolymph. The accumulated evidence supports the idea that the hydrocarbons and contact pheromone components are produced by oenocytes within the abdominal integument, carried by lipophorin, and differentially deposited in the cuticle and ovaries (Fan et al.,... [Pg.212]

Cholesterol efflux is one mechanism that maintains cellular cholesterol homeostasis. An important regulator of cellular cholesterol efflux is the ATP-binding cassette receptor Al (ABCA-1). ABCA-1 is critical for the formation of plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDL) that are inversely related to cardiovascular disease risk (Schaefer et al., 1994). Two groups investigated the role of... [Pg.375]
