Reactivity of direct assays for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol toward charge-modified LDL in hypercholesterolemia.
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to compare 2 direct measurements for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with the Friedewald calculation (LDL-C [F]) in serum and their relationship with size-and charge-based LDL subfractions in serum ultracentrifugation fractions in patients with hypercholesterolemia (HC). METHODS AND RESULTS Serum samples from 283 HC patients who particip...
متن کاملDiscordance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol with alternative LDL-related measures and future coronary events.
BACKGROUND Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the traditional measure of risk attributable to LDL. Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHDL-C), apolipoprotein B (apoB), and LDL particle number (LDL-P) are alternative measures of LDL-related risk. However, the clinical utility of these measures may only become apparent among individuals for whom levels are inconsistent (discord...
متن کاملRole of plasmalogens in the enhanced resistance of LDL to copper-induced oxidation after LDL apheresis.
Extracorporeal reduction of plasma low density lipoproteins (LDLs) by LDL apheresis was shown to attenuate the proatherogenic influences of LDL, such as impairment of vasodilation and increased monocyte adhesion to the endothelium. In 16 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, we analyzed whether LDL apheresis by the heparin precipitation procedure affected the oxidative resistance of LDL....
متن کاملMathematical Model for Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Endocytosis by Hepatocytes
Individuals with elevated levels of plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) are considered to be at risk of developing coronary heart disease. LDL particles are removed from the blood by a process known as receptor-mediated endocytosis, which occurs mainly in the liver. A series of classical experiments delineated the major steps in the endocytotic process; apolipoprotein B-100...
متن کاملLow-density lipoprotein (LDL)-antioxidant biflavonoids from Garcinia madruno.
Six biflavonoids were isolated from G. madruno, one of which, 7''-O-(6''''-acetyl)-glucoside of morelloflavone, is a new compound identified on the basis of 1D, 2D NMR (HMQC and HMBC) spectroscopic methods and chemical evidence. The antioxidant activity of the biflavonoids against low-density lipoprotein (LDL) peroxidation induced with Cu²⁺, was studied by means of a TBARS assay. The antioxidan...
