Effect of inflammation on apolipoprotein A-1(apoA-1) secretion by intestinal cells. by Yu, Kenneth.

“…This study has shown that ApoA-l secretion in intestinal cells is constitutive; however, the rate of apoA-l secretion is increased by as high as 5-times the constitutive secretion rate when the cells are exposed to anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and paracetamol. In contrast, pro-inflammatory drugs such as lipopolysaccharides and endotoxin appeared to decrease intestinal secretion of apoA-1. …”
