چکیده
Remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) of both intestinal and liver origin are considered to be atherogenic, but separation of remnant lipoproteins from other TRL is difficult. An assay has been developed that allows immunoseparation of remnant-like particles (RLP) and measurement of cholesterol (RLP-C) and triglyceride (RLP-TG). We measured RLP-C and RLP-TG in fast plasma samples obtained from 1567 women participating in cycle 4 of the Framingham heart study (FHS). When values from 83 women with cardiovascular disease (CVD) were compared with the values from 1484 women without disease, concentrations in women with CVD were found to be significantly higher for both RLP-C (0.21590.102 vs. 0.18690.162 mmol/l; +15.6%; PB0.0001) and RLP-TG (0.31990.352 vs. 0.25190.716 mmol/l; +27.0%; PB0.0002). Logistic regression analysis revealed that RLP-C was significantly associated with prevalent CVD in women (PB0.002) after adjustment with other major risk factors. In conclusion, we have documented that RLP-C is an independent risk factor for CVD in women, and provides significantly more information than do triglycerides. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

Atherosclerosis is responsible for 50% of all mortalities in the USA, Europe, and Japan. An innovative approach for investigating atherosclerotic lesions using a thermodynamic model and a boundary value model and an analytical example of a human abdominal aorta vessel with an initial lesion are presented in the paper. Analytical results given by both models propose that increased transient boun...

The present study investigated the effect of raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), on aortic atherosclerosis in 80 ovariectomized, cholesterol-fed rabbits with pre-induced atherosclerosis. The animals were fed an atherogenic diet containing 240 mg cholesterol/day for 15 weeks, after this period a baseline control group was sacrificed. Thereafter, oral treatment was initiat...

The effect of gelatin ingestion on cholesterol metabolism and on atheroma formation was evaluated in both wild type (n=14) and apoprotein E (apoE) knock out (apoE) (n=20) C57BL/6 7-week-old mice. Animals were fed a cholesterol-free isoproteic semi-purified diet containing 20% of casein (control diet) or 10% of casein plus 10% of gelatin (gel diet) for 8 weeks. In wild type mice, dietary gelatin...

The relationship between microalbuminuria and tissue-type plasminogen activator antigen (tPA-ag) and fibrinogen was evaluated in non-diabetic subjects. Subjects were participants of the D.E.S.I.R. (Data from an Epidemiological Study on the Insulin Resistance syndrome) Study. Analyses were carried out on 2248 women and 2402 men for fibrinogen and on 272 women and 284 men for tPA-ag. Microalbumin...

A new study has found that, in Arabidopsis, the paternal copies of many genes are delayed in expression during early seed development. The distribution of the genes and nature of their products suggest that this delayed expression of paternal alleles may be a global phenomenon.
