Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and sepsis-associated vascular endothelial injury: a narrative review

Crit CarePublished Narrative review

Authors' conclusion

By providing an integrated mechanistic framework, this review highlights the ApoA1 as a critical therapeutic target

Study context

Population
Sepsis-associated vascular endothelial injury

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Strong correlation between reduced ApoA1/HDL levels and endothelial damage across various infections
  • Protective mechanisms: anti-inflammatory actions, preservation of endothelial barrier integrity, restoration of microvascular flow
  • Emerging interplay between ApoA1 and exosomes
  • Translational potential of ApoA1-based therapies (mimetic peptides, recombinant HDL) evaluated
