Involvement of 15-lipoxygenase in early stages of atherogenesis
The arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase which is expressed in atherosclerotic lesions is implicated in the oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins during atherogenesis. To obtain experimental in vivo evidence for this hypothesis, we analyzed the structure of oxygenated lipids isolated from the aorta of rabbits fed with a cholesterol-rich diet for different time periods and compared the patt...
متن کاملIn vivo action of 15-lipoxygenase in early stages of human atherogenesis.
Oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein has been suggested as patho-physiologically relevant process in atherogenesis and the lipid peroxidizing enzyme 15-lipoxygenase may be involved. For experimental evidence on the in vivo action of this enzyme in the time course of plaque formation we analyzed the lipid extracts of lesional areas representing various stages of human atherogenesis ...
متن کاملAbsence of 12/15-lipoxygenase expression decreases lipid peroxidation and atherogenesis in apolipoprotein e-deficient mice.
BACKGROUND The enzyme 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LO) has been implicated in the oxidative modification of LDL. In a murine model, we tested the hypothesis that deletion of 12/15-LO decreases atherogenesis by reducing oxidant stress, as measured by 2 indices of lipid peroxidation: isoprostane generation and autoantibody formation to malondialdehyde (MDA)-LDL, an epitope of LDL formed as a result ...
متن کامل12/15-Lipoxygenase gene disruption attenuates atherogenesis in LDL receptor-deficient mice.
BACKGROUND Human 15-lipoxygenase (LO) and its murine analogue 12/15-LO are capable of directly oxidizing esterified fatty acids in lipoproteins and phospholipids. Because these oxidized products possess atherogenic properties, it was suggested that LOs may be involved in enhancing atherogenesis. Previous in vivo tests of the role of LOs in atherogenesis animal models, however, have yielded conf...
