1.	Atherosclerosis 01/01/2016 - "An 18 residue model peptide (18A) was designed to mimic the amphipathic helical domains of apoA-I. This and several analogs were able solubilize phospholipids and, when administered into animal models of atherosclerosis, were able to inhibit lesion formation without any effect on plasma cholesterol levels.
