Genetic cholesteryl ester transfer protein deficiency caused by two prevalent mutations as a major determinant of increased levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Inazu, A, Jiang, X C, Haraki, T, Yagi, K, Kamon, N, Koizumi, J, ...

Genetic determinants of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in the general population are poorly understood. We previously described plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency due to an...

Purification and characterization of a novel dimeric 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase from Tetrahymena pyriformis.

Inazu, A, Sato, K, Nakayama, T, Deyashiki, Y, Hara, A, Nozawa, Y

Tetrahymena pyriformis was found to exhibit high NADPH-dependent 20-oxosteroid reductase activity that converted 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone into 17 alpha,20 alpha-dihydroxypregn-4-en-3-one. The...

A novel method for measuring human lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities in postheparin plasma*

Imamura, S., Kobayashi, J., Nakajima, K., Sakasegawa, S., Nohara, A., Noguchi, T., ...

The objective of this study was to establish a new lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) activity assay method. Seventy normal volunteers were recruited. Lipase activities were assayed by...
