Apolipoprotein E polymorphism and low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in patients with dementia.

چکیده
In patients with dementia, 29 diagnosed as probably suffering from Alzheimer's disease and 46 subjects with dementia of vascular origin, and in 41 non demented control subjects LDL oxidation in vitro was compared in carriers of various apolipoprotein E alleles. Restriction isotyping was performed by gene amplification and cleavage with Hhal, LDL oxidation was investigated by determination of conjugated dienes and vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) plasma level was measured by HPLC. In subjects with dementia oxidation of LDL was shown to be higher in carriers of epsilon4 allele as compared with non-carriers of this allele. It was especially observed in the propagation phase, which illustrates oxidation intensity after the exhaustion of the antioxidant reserve in LDL. Vitamin E level did not show differences between carriers of different alleles. It is concluded that the differences in oxidation susceptibility of LDL between demented subjects possessing particular apolipoprotein E forms can result partially from differing antioxidant properties of apolipoprotein E isoforms and, in a substantial degree, from the size and quality of LDL.

Background: Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) moves with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in blood and prevents low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles from oxidation. The aims of this study were to investigate the correlation between fatty acid composition of HDL phospholipids with pon-1 polymorphisms and response to lovastatin treatment in people with high blood cholesterol. Methods: In this desc...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E Polymorphism in an Iranian Hypercholestrolemic Population
Apolipoprotein E (apo E) is a structural constituent of several serum lipoprotein classes. It plays an important role in lipid metabolism by acting as a ligand for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and chylomicron remnant receptors. Three common alleles called e2, e3 and e4 have been described, which code for three protein isoforms (E2, E3 and E4). The polymorphism is clinically significant, and it...

Abstract Background: Recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (CAD).Small dense LDLs are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by arterial wall. They are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and increased affinity...
متن کاملGlucose Influence on Copper Ion-Dependent Oxidation of Low Density Lipoprotein
Background: It is well established that oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) plays a causal role in human atherogenesis and the risk of atherosclerosis is increased in patients with diabetes mellitus. We examined the in vitro effect of glucose on native and glycated LDL oxidation using copper ion dependent oxidation system. Methods: In this study, LDL was isolated from plasma...
متن کاملIn Vitro Effect of ?-Tocopherol, Ascorbic Acid and Lycopene on Low Density Lipoprotein Glycation
Nonenzymatic glycation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) is a reaction of glucose and other reducing sugars with apolipoprotein B100 (apo-B100) lysine residues. In diabetes, this reaction is greatly accelerated and is important in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. The objective of this study was to investigate in vitro effects of ?-tocopherol, ascorbic acid and lycopene on LDL glycatio...
