Kinetics of plasma protein-catalyzed exchange of phosphatidylcholine and cholesteryl ester between plasma lipoproteins.
A lipid transfer complex (LTC) isolated from human plasma catalyzes equimolar exchange of cholesteryl ester and phosphatidylcholine between low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) plasma lipoproteins. Activation parameters for LTC-catalyzed exchange of neutral and polar lipid are equal and are not influenced by the degree of purity of the catalyst. Activation parameters for exchange of both ch...
متن کاملRelationship Between Plasma Carotenoids and Prostate Cancer.pdf
Carotenoids, particularly lycopene, are thought to decrease prostate cancer risk, but the relationship between plasma carotenoid concentrations and risk in various populations has not been well characterized. Comparing 118 non-Hispanic Caucasian men mainly from southeast Texas with nonmetastatic prostate cancer with 52 healthy men from the same area, we conducted a case-control analysis evaluat...
متن کاملThe interaction between human plasma lipoproteins and connective tissue glycosaminoglycans.
The interaction between human plasma lipoproteins and glycosaminoglycans has been studied by use of gels consisting of cross-linked hyaluronic acid and of sulfated glycosaminoglycans covalently attached to agarose (Sepharose 4B). When chromatographed on a column of granulated hyaluronic acid gel at physiological pH and ionic strength, very low density (VLDL), low density (LDL), and high density...
متن کاملTransfers and exchanges of esterified cholesterol between plasma lipoproteins.
Knowledge concerning the formation and transport of esterified cholesterol in plasma is fundamental to an understanding of the mechanisms by which cholesterol is delivered to peripheral tissues from the liver and removed from these tissues for recycling or excretion through the liver. Hepatic cholesterol enters the plasma in man predominantly in the unesterified, or free, form as a component of...
متن کاملPlasma carotenoids and diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy increases with duration of diabetes and may be associated with carotenoid status. Carotenoids alter the pro-oxidation/antioxidation balance, and circulating levels depend largely on dietary intake. Lower levels have been reported in diabetes and age-related macular degeneration; however, little is known of the relationship between carotenoids and diabetic complications. Con...
