Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Internal medicine

Her primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Biochemistry, Cholesterol and Lipoprotein. In the subject of general Endocrinology, her work in Cholesteryl linoleate, Thyroglobulin and Remnant Lipoprotein is often linked to Apolipoprotein E and In vivo, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Her study on Lipid droplet, Fatty acid, Lecithin and Glyceride is often connected to Low density as part of broader study in Biochemistry.

Her work deals with themes such as Hepatocyte and Metabolism, which intersect with Cholesterol. Olga Stein interconnects Catabolism, Accelerated atherosclerosis, Lipoprotein lipase and High-density lipoprotein in the investigation of issues within Lipoprotein. Olga Stein combines subjects such as Sphingomyelin and Atheromatosis with her study of Apolipoprotein B.

Her most cited work include:

  • Atheroprotective mechanisms of HDL. (278 citations)
  • The removal of cholesterol from aortic smooth muscle cells in culture and Landschutz ascites cells by fractions of human high-density apolipoprotein. (246 citations)
  • Lipid synthesis, intracellular transport, storage, and secretion. I. Electron microscopic radioautographic study of liver after injection of tritiated palmitate or glycerol in fasted and ethanol-treated rats. (238 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her main research concerns Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Biochemistry, Cholesterol and Cholesteryl ester. The Lipoprotein, Lipoprotein lipase and Hormone research Olga Stein does as part of her general Endocrinology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Apolipoprotein E, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Her Lipoprotein research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Catabolism and High-density lipoprotein.

Her work in the fields of Reverse cholesterol transport, Apolipoprotein B, Low-density lipoprotein and Sphingomyelin overlaps with other areas such as In vivo. The various areas that Olga Stein examines in her Cholesteryl ester study include Ether, Atheroma, Bovine serum albumin, Sterol O-acyltransferase and Cholesterylester transfer protein. Her Fatty acid study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Lipid metabolism and Lecithin.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (54.19%)
  • Endocrinology (52.22%)
  • Biochemistry (47.78%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 1994-2008)?

  • Internal medicine (54.19%)
  • Endocrinology (52.22%)
  • Cholesterol (38.92%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cholesterol, Reverse cholesterol transport and In vivo. In general Internal medicine, her work in Cholesteryl ester, Lipoprotein and Ratón is often linked to Apolipoprotein E linking many areas of study. Her Very low-density lipoprotein study in the realm of Lipoprotein connects with subjects such as Cellular infiltration.

Olga Stein has included themes like Receptor, Biochemistry, Pathogenesis and Monocyte in her Endocrinology study. In the field of Cholesterol, her study on Scavenger receptor, Low-density lipoprotein and High-density lipoprotein overlaps with subjects such as Liver X receptor. Her work carried out in the field of Reverse cholesterol transport brings together such families of science as C57BL/6 and Apolipoprotein B.

Between 1994 and 2008, her most popular works were:

  • Atheroprotective mechanisms of HDL. (278 citations)
  • Lipid transfer proteins (LTP) and atherosclerosis. (83 citations)
  • Lipoprotein lipase and atherosclerosis (72 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry

Olga Stein focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cholesterol, Apolipoprotein E and Scavenger receptor. Her work on Internal medicine deals in particular with Lipoprotein, Cholesteryl ester, Lipoprotein lipase, Adipose tissue and Statistical significance. Olga Stein has researched Lipoprotein in several fields, including TBARS and Low-density lipoprotein.

Her specific area of interest is Cholesterol, where Olga Stein studies Reverse cholesterol transport. Her Macrophage study combines topics in areas such as Cell, Lipid metabolism and Metabolism. Her Very low-density lipoprotein study is associated with Biochemistry.
