Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein and Inflammation in Gout Patients

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein in postmenopausal women.

BACKGROUND Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) leads to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, the most frequent causes of death worldwide. After menopause, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism changes and women are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease compared to fertile women. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of serum oxLDL in postmenopausal women and to identi...

plasma level of oxidized low- density lipoprotein in macroalbuminuric

accumulating evidence suggest that in patients with diabetes mellitus, increased rate of lipoprotein oxidation and oxidative stress have important role in diabetic angiopathy, including nephropathy. to evaluate the association of oxidized low- density lipoprotein (ox-ldl) with the development of diabetic nephropathy, plasma level of ox-ldl were measured in 70 diabetic patients with macro and 63...

Neat1 regulates oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced inflammation and lipid uptake in macrophages via paraspeckle formation

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) indu-ces macrophage inflammation and lipid uptake, and serves important roles in the development of atherosclerosis. The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (neat1) has two isoforms; the longer isoform, neat1_2, mediates the formation of subnuclear structures called paraspeckles. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polym...

Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein and Paraoxonase in Menopause

A macrophage receptor that recognizes oxidized low density lipoprotein but not acetylated low density lipoprotein.

The formation of cholesterol-loaded macrophage foam cells in arterial tissue may occur by the uptake of modified lipoproteins via the scavenger receptor pathway. The macrophage scavenger receptor, also called the acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) receptor, has been reported to recognize Ac-LDL as well as oxidized LDL species such as endothelial cell-modified LDL (EC-LDL). We now repor...
