Plasma gamma-glutamyltransferase, cysteinyl-glycine, and oxidized low-density lipoprotein: a pathway associated with myocardial infarction risk?
OBJECTIVE To investigate the interrelation between plasma γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity, cysteinyl-glycine (Cys-Gly) (ie, a thiol originating from GGT-mediated cleavage of glutathione), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) with regard to myocardial infarction (MI) risk in a prospective study. METHODS AND RESULTS Incident cases of MI were identified among European Prospective In...
متن کاملplasma 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...
متن کاملImpact of plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein removal on atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Several clinical studies of statin therapy have demonstrated that lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol prevents atherosclerotic progression and decreases cardiovascular mortality. In addition, oxidized LDL (oxLDL) is suggested to play roles in the formation and progression of atherosclerosis. However, whether lowering oxLDL alone, rather than total LDL, affects atheroge...
متن کاملChanges in dietary fat intake alter plasma levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein and lipoprotein(a).
OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of dietary modifications on oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL). METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-seven healthy women were fed two diets. Both diets contained a reduced amount of total and saturated fat. In addition, one diet was low in vegetables and the other was high in vegetables, berries, and fruit. The dietary intake of total fat was 70 g per day at baseline...
متن کاملOxidized 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...
