Tazasubrate (30 mg/kg/day) a new lipid lowering agent, chemically unrelated to fibrates, reduces plasma cholesterol in rats within 2-3 days to 50% of controls. During the early rapid decrease of plasma cholesterol, increased liver cholesterol concentrations are observed. These return to normal, once the new steady state of plasma cholesterol (at 50% of controls) has been reached. Radiotracer studies with 3H-cholesterol labelled plasma very low density lipoproteins are consistent with an accelerated plasma cholesterol turnover. Analysis of the binding to liver membranes of 125I labelled cholesterol rich very low density lipoproteins (beta-VLDL) shows a marked increase in the total binding (Bmax rising from 106 ng/mg of protein 378 ng/mg), without significant alterations in the receptor affinity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
D008079 Lipoproteins, VLDL A class of lipoproteins of very light (0.93-1.006 g/ml) large size (30-80 nm) particles with a core composed mainly of TRIGLYCERIDES and a surface monolayer of PHOSPHOLIPIDS and CHOLESTEROL into which are imbedded the apolipoproteins B, E, and C. VLDL facilitates the transport of endogenously made triglycerides to extrahepatic tissues. As triglycerides and Apo C are removed, VLDL is converted to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS from which cholesterol is delivered to the extrahepatic tissues.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
