Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2: Effects of Low Density Lipoprotein Apheresis
In addition to hypercholesterolemia, chronic arterial inflammation has been shown to be strongly associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) [1]. The accumulation and oxidation of LDL within the intima trigger inflammatory processes within the vessel wall. Certain markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), oxidized LDL, and lipo...

متن کاملEnvironmental Estrogens
John A. McLachlan and Steven F. Arnold n many ways, the story of the pesticide DDT is the story of America's attitude toward synthetic chemicals in the environment. DDT was the first of many new pesticides that people hoped would improve the quality of their lives, but gradually it became clear that such progress often had a cost. DDT was one of the first environmental chemical agents to*be ban...
متن کاملCatechol estrogens are more potent antioxidants than estrogens for the Cu(2+)-catalyzed oxidation of low or high density lipoprotein: antioxidative effects of steroids on lipoproteins.
In order to clarify the mechanism of antiatherogenic action of several steroids such as estrogens, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dexamethasone, we investigated the effects of various steroids on the copper (Cu2+)-catalyzed oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) or high density lipoprotein (HDL) in 0.15 M NaCl by measuring thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS). At a concentrati...
متن کاملEnvironmental estrogens.
The estrogenic equivalent analysis that Dr. Safe presented recently in EHP (103:346-351) is a welcome addition to the literature , and development of this toxicologic approach is an important step in evaluating new endpoints for environmental agents (1,2). The hormonal potential of chemical contaminants offers many opportunities for further research, including study of the environmental etiolog...
