Abstract excerpt
Plasma apoC-III levels correlate with triglyceride (TG) levels and are a strong predictor of CVD outcomes. ApoC-III elevates TG in part by inhibiting LPL. ApoC-III likely inhibits LPL by competing for lipid binding. To probe this, we used oil-drop tensiometry to characterize binding of six apoC-III variants to lipid/water interfaces. This technique monitors the dependence of lipid binding on surface pressure,...
