(author), Schouten, J. (author), Frants, R.R. (author), Havekes, L.M. (author)In a group of 120 patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) the influence of the apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism on pre-treatment plasma lipid levels and on the response to treatment with simvastatin was studied.

(author), Meera Khan, P. (author)Histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) is a monomeric plasma glycoprotein involved in the modulation of coagulation and fibrinolysis. Using Southern analysis of human-rodent somatic cell hybrid DNA with a human HRG-specific cDNA probe, the HRG gene was assigned to chromosome 3. One hybrid that was known to contain only a segment of chromosome 3 also...article 1990

(author)The power of serum lathosterol concentration as an indicator of whole-body cholesterol synthesis was investigated in 47 human volunteers consuming two diets differing in fatty acid composition. The cholesterol balance (fecal excretion of neutral and acid steroids minus cholesterol intake) was strongly correlated with the serum level of total ...article 1988

(author)Inhibition of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) by pooled plasma could be ascribed for only 60% to the endothelial cell type PA inhibitor. The residual inhibition is ascribed to a so-far undescribed plasma component present at 0.2 nmol/l. This component shows reversible binding to t-PA with an apparent K(i) of 10 pmol/l (does not hinder t...article 1985

Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO (author), Godthelp, J. (author)This paper presents two experiments in which steering a lane-change manoeuvre is analysed as a precognitive control task. The suggestion that the dependence on instantaneous visual feedback is low during such a task was tested by analysing steering performance under conditions both with and without visual occlusion. Steering force served as the...article 1985
