New discoveries in genetics, molecular, and cell biology are not only enhancing our understanding of the etiology and progression of disease, but are finding applications in the development of new drugs or the implementation of new kinds of therapy. This book provides an in-depth review of emerging areas in biomedical research at the interface

Table of contents:

1. The assembly of very low density lipoproteins in the liver

2. Cardiovascular implications of partial, tissue-specific silencing of MTP

3. Acyl CoA: Diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGATs) as therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease

4. The biochemical and physiological roles of ACAT1 and ACAT2 in cholesterol homeostasis and atherosclerosis

5. Overview of intestinal lipid metabolism

6. The role of non-cholesterol sterols in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and their modulation by the sitosterolaemia locus

7. FXR: the molecular link between bile acid and lipid metabolism

8. Overview of HDL and reverse cholesterol transport

9. LXR as a therapeutic target for atherosclerosis

10. Endothelial lipase and the regulation of HDL metabolism

11. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for raising HDL-cholesterol levels and reducing atherosclerosis

12. Overview of insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome

13. Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors and energy metabolism

14. Adipocytes and their secretory products

15. Regulation of adipocyte triglyceride storage

16. Role of innate immunity in atherosclerosis: immune recognition, immune activation and the atherosclerotic process

17. Role of CD44 in atherogenesis and its potential role as a therapeutic target

18. Lipoxygenases: potential therapeutic target in atherosclerosis

19. Role of secretory phospholipase A
