Event Date/Time: Mar 08, 2004 | End Date/Time: Mar 09, 2004 |
Description
In it’s 5th year, this conference provides cutting-edge data on cholesterol efflux, transfer proteins, scavenger receptors, nuclear receptors, hepatic lipase, ABCA1 and apolipoprotein A.
Top experts from industry and academia present powerful strategies for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases by improving the atherosclerotic protection. Discover the latest developments in such topics as:
• The role of ceramide in the modulation of ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux
• Understanding the regulation of HDL-C by using natural genetic variation as a tool
• Analysis of SR-BI
• RXR agonists as regulators for dietary cholesterol
• Paraoxonase1 and it’s anti-atherosclerotic properties
• LXR in lipid metabolism
• HDL-raising drugs
• Hepatic Lipase modulates lipoprotein metabolism
• Molecular dynamics of ApoA-I
• ABCA1 / apolipoprotein interactions
