    摘要: A novel method of identifying compounds capable of upregulating Peroxiredoxin activity is disclosed. The method includes providing a sample of cells that express Peroxiredoxin, providing a sample of a candidate compound, contacting the cell sample and the compound sample, and measuring a quantitative indicator of Peroxiredoxin activity within the cell sample after the contacting step. Peroxiredoxin inducers identified by the method and uses therefore to upregulate Peroxiredoxin activity in subjects and to reduce LDL and/or VLDL levels and to prevent or treat atherosclerosis and inflammatory disorders such as arthritis in subjects are also described. The invention also provides a method of treatment of inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases which comprises providing a patient in need of treatment with an effective amount of a composition that increases Peroxiredoxin protein or activity.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for determining whether a compound binds to a lipoprotein such as LDL or VLDL in a manner which will lower plasma cholesterol is provided that includes assessing the ability of the compound to form a complex with the lipoprotein, e.g., LDL or VLDL, and then determining whether the newly formed complex causes a change in the structure of apoB-100 that results in increased binding affinity to the LDL receptor. Also disclosed is a method for lowering cholesterol in a host in need thereof, including a human, is provided that includes the administration of an effective amount of a compound which binds to cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein (e.g. LDL or VLDL) in a manner that alters the three dimensional configuration of the lipoprotein and increases the binding affinity of the apoB-100 protein to the LDL receptor, including those on the surface of a hepatic cell.
