Abstract
Lipoprotein metabolism plays an important role in the development of several human diseases, including coronary artery disease and the metabolic syndrome. A good comprehension of the factors that regulate the metabolism of the various lipoproteins is therefore key to better understanding the variables associated with the development of these diseases. Among the players identified are regulators such as caveolins and caveolae. Caveolae are small plasma membrane invaginations that are observed in terminally differentiated cells. Their most important protein marker, caveolin-1, has been shown to play a key role in the regulation of several cellular signaling pathways and in the regulation of plasma lipoprotein metabolism. In the present paper, we have examined the role of caveolin-1 in lipoprotein metabolism using caveolin-1-deficient (Cav-1(-/-)) mice. Our data show that, while Cav-1(-/-) mice show increased plasma triglyceride levels, they also display reduced hepatic very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion. Additionally, we also found that a caveolin-1 deficiency is associated with an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and these HDL particles are enriched in cholesteryl ester in Cav-1(-/-) mice when compared with HDL obtained from wild-type mice. Finally, our data suggest that a caveolin-1 deficiency prevents the transcytosis of LDL across endothelial cells, and therefore, that caveolin-1 may be implicated in the regulation of plasma LDL levels. Taken together, our studies suggest that caveolin-1 plays an important role in the regulation of lipoprotein metabolism by controlling their plasma levels as well as their lipid composition. Thus caveolin-1 may also play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The plasma membrane of cells functions as a barrier to the environment. Caveolae are minute invaginations of the membrane that selectively carry out the exchange of information and materials with the environment, by functioning as organizers of signal transduction and through endocytosis. Recent findings of uptake of different metabolites and of lipid metabolism occurring in caveolae, point to a new general function of caveolae. As gateways for the uptake of nutrients across the plasma membrane, and as platforms for the metabolic conversion of nutrients, especially in adipocytes, caveolae are now emerging as active centers for many aspects of intermediary metabolism, with implications for our understanding of obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may contribute to the pathology of atherosclerosis by activating inflammatory responses in vascular endothelial cells. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is colocalized with caveolae and is a critical regulator of vascular homeostasis. PCBs may be proatherogenic by causing dysfunctional eNOS signaling. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of caveolin-1 in PCB-induced endothelial dysfunction with a focus on mechanisms associated with eNOS signaling. Cells derived from an immortalized human vascular endothelial cell line were treated with PCB77 to study nitrotyrosine formation through eNOS signaling. Phosphorylation studies of eNOS, caveolin-1, and kinases, such as Src, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), and Akt, were conducted in cells containing either functional or small-interfering RNA-silenced caveolin-1 protein. We also investigated caveolin-1-regulated mechanisms associated with PCB-induced markers of peroxynitrite formation and DNA binding of NF-kappaB. Cellular exposure to PCB77 increased eNOS phosphorylation and nitric oxide production, as well as peroxynitrite levels. A subsequent PCB-induced increase in NF-kappaB DNA binding may have implications in oxidative stress-mediated inflammatory mechanisms. The activation of eNOS by PCB77 treatment was blocked by inhibitors of the Src/PI3K/Akt pathway. PCB77 also increased phosphorylation of caveolin-1, indicating caveolae-dependent endocytosis. Caveolin-1 silencing abolished both the PCB-stimulated Akt and eNOS phosphorylation, suggesting a regulatory role of caveolae in PCB-induced eNOS signaling. These findings suggest that PCB77 induces eNOS phosphorylation in endothelial cells through a Src/PI3K/Akt-dependent mechanism, events regulated by functional caveolin-1. Our data provide evidence that caveolae may play a critical role in regulating vascular endothelial cell activation and toxicity induced by persistent environmental pollutants such as coplanar PCBs.

Abstract
It has been known for decades that the adipocyte cell surface is particularly rich in small invaginations we now know to be caveolae. These structures are common to many cell types but are not ubiquitous. They have generated considerable curiosity, as manifested by the numerous publications on the topic that describe various, sometimes contradictory, caveolae functions. Here, we review the field from an "adipocentric" point of view and suggest that caveolae may have a function of particular use for the fat cell, namely the modulation of fatty acid flux across the plasma membrane. Other functions for adipocyte caveolae that have been postulated include participation in signal transduction and membrane trafficking pathways, and it will require further experimental scrutiny to resolve controversies surrounding these possible activities.

Abstract
CD36 is a broadly expressed membrane glycoprotein that acts as a facilitator of fatty acid uptake, a signaling molecule, and a receptor for a wide range of ligands, including apoptotic cells, modified forms of low density lipoprotein, thrombospondins, fibrillar beta-amyloid, components of Gram positive bacterial walls and malaria infected erythrocytes. CD36 expression on macrophages, dendritic and endothelial cells, and in tissues including muscle, heart, and fat, suggest diverse roles, and indeed, this is truly a multi-functional receptor involved in both homeostatic and pathological conditions. Despite an impressive increase in our knowledge of CD36 functions, in depth understanding of the mechanistic aspects of this protein remains elusive. This review focuses on CD36 in cardiovascular disease-what we know, and what we have yet to learn.

Abstract
Insulin slows GLUT4 internalization by an unknown mechanism. Here we show that in unstimulated adipocytes, GLUT4 is internalized by two mechanisms. Approximately 80% of GLUT4 is internalized by a mechanism that is sensitive to the cholesterol-aggregating drug nystatin, and is independent of AP-2 clathrin adaptor and two putative GLUT4 endocytic motifs. The remaining GLUT4 is internalized by an AP-2-dependent, nystatin-resistant pathway that requires the FQQI GLUT4 motif. Insulin inhibits GLUT4 uptake by the nystatin-sensitive pathway and, consequently, GLUT4 is internalized by the AP-2-dependent pathway in stimulated adipocytes. The phenylalanine-based FQQI GLUT4 motif promotes AP-2-dependent internalization less rapidly than a tyrosine-based motif, the classic form of aromatic-based motifs. Thus, both a change in the predominant endocytosis pathway and the specific use of a suboptimal internalization motif contribute to the slowing of GLUT4 internalization in insulin-stimulated adipocytes. Insulin also inhibits the uptake of cholera-toxin B, indicating that insulin broadly regulates cholesterol-dependent uptake mechanisms rather than specially targeting GLUT4. Our work thus identifies cholesterol-dependent uptake as a novel target of insulin action in adipocytes.

Abstract
Studies were conducted to assess the bioequivalence of a new antimycotic formulation, ciclopirox olamine lotion 1%, to an established compound, ciclopirox olamine cream 1%. Results of in vitro studies, using skin samples from human cadavers and domestic pigs, demonstrated that the two formulations equally penetrate all layers of the stratum corneum and inhibit the growth of Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida albicans. In vivo studies in guinea pigs and in human volunteers demonstrated the comparable therapeutic efficacy of the lotion and the cream in experimental trichophytosis. In addition, a multicenter, double-blind clinical trial was undertaken to compare ciclopirox olamine lotion 1% with the vehicle alone in the treatment of patients with tinea pedis. Patients with plantar, interdigital, or vesicular tinea pedis were enrolled in the studies. Patients were treated for 28 days. Clinical and mycological responses were determined during treatment and two weeks posttreatment. Ciclopirox olamine lotion 1% was found to be significantly more effective than its vehicle in the treatment of patients with common tinea pedis. Minor localized side effects (pruritus, burning sensation) were reported in 2% of 89 patients treated with ciclopirox olamine lotion 1%. The results demonstrate the bioequivalence of ciclopirox olamine lotion 1% and ciclopirox olamine cream 1% and confirm the clinical effectiveness and safety of the lotion in the treatment of tinea pedis, a generally recalcitrant fungal infection. It is concluded that ciclopirox olamine lotion 1% can be used as an alternative to ciclopirox olamine cream 1% for treatment of tinea pedis, tinea versicolor, tinea cruris, tinea corporis, and cutaneous candidiasis when the convenience and/or cosmetic elegance of a lotion is desired.
