Abstract
Lipoprotein lipase, hepatic lipase, and endothelial lipase are sn-1 lipases that play important roles in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that these lipases exhibit both pro- and antiatherogenic properties, which are dependent primarily on their tissue localization. The following chapter reviews the physiology of these lipases, and the consequences of the loss or gain of function for each lipase in modulating atherosclerosis, with emphasis on murine models.

New drug therapy for eye diseases
Eyesight is one of the most critical senses, accounting for over 80% of our perceptions. Our quality of life might be significantly affected by eye disease, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, etc. Although the development of microinvasive ocular surgery reduces surgical complications and improves overall outcomes, medication therapy is ...read more
