Atorvastatin preferentially reduces LDL-associated platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase activity in dyslipidemias of type IIA and type IIB.
Human plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) is a phospholipase A(2) that is primarily associated with low density lipoprotein (LDL). PAF-AH activity has also been found in high density lipoprotein (HDL), although it has recently been indicated that there is no PAF-AH protein in HDL. Plasma paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is an HDL-associated esterase, which also exhibits PAF-AH-like a...
متن کاملPlatelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) activity in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) activity and its relationship with clinical and demographic variables, metabolic control, apolipoprotein A and B levels and the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to in vitro oxidation in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM 1). METHODS Forty two patients with DM 1 (27 females) and 48 control subjects...
متن کاملHuman platelets secrete the plasma type of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase primarily associated with microparticles.
OBJECTIVE Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) expresses a Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 activity and hydrolyzes platelet-activating factor as well as oxidized phospholipids. Two major types of PAF-AH have been described: the plasma type, which is associated with lipoproteins, and the intracellular type II PAF-AH. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated the type(s) of PAF-AH ex...
متن کاملSerum platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase activity in dengue.
INTRODUCTION Severe dengue infection is characterized by enhanced vascular permeability produced by cytokines and biochemical mediators. One of these mediators is the platelet-activating factor. Degradation of platelet-activating factor is accomplished by its specific acetylhydrolase. Down or up regulation of this enzyme has been linked to several diseases. However, the role of this enzyme in d...
