✦ Synopsis

Previous in vitro radioligand binding data have shown that prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) increases the number and the binding affinity of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors of the human liver. Experimental data in normo-and hypercholesterolaemic rabbits have confirmed these findings, showing a significant increase in LDL-binding to the liver in vivo after prolonged PGE1 therapy.

Methods: This study aimed to confirm the experimental and animal data in human in vivo. ~23I-LDL binding to the liver was quantified in vivo in patients suffering from peripheral vascular disease, seven of them with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HC) and five with normal total plasma cholesterol, after PGE1 administration (5 ngkg-1-min-1 ; 6 h daily for 5 days/week for 5 weeks). LDL uptake by the liver was quantified by single photon emission computer tomography (SPECT). Results: The amount of LDL trapped by the liver in normocholesterolaemics (45.6%) was significantly higher than in hypercholesterolaemics (22.0%). PGE1 induced an increase in liver LDL binding, which was more pronounced in HC (+ 38.2%) than in normocholesterolaemic patients (+ 8.11%).

Tributyrin has been shown to be an effective antitumor agent alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents in vitro. Because tributyrin exists as an oil, it could be formulated as an emulsion to facilitate its delivery. The aim of this study was to develop a tributyrin emulsion with aff

Using DNA sequencing of the coding and exon flanking regions of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene we identified an Alw26 I site in exon 10 by a transition G1426A. The alleles are represented by one uncut fragment (A1 = 108 bp) or two fragments (A2 = 82bp and 26 pb). Two other fragment
