چکیده

oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) represents a significant parameter in the atheromatous plaque formation. Oxidative modification of LDL takes place in two stages. In the first stage (stage of mild oxidation), lipids of LDL, mainly various pho-spholipids such as phosphatidylcholine, are oxidized without any transformation of the molecular structure of apolipoprotein B-100 (apo-B). In the second stage (stage of advanced

بررسی عیار اتوآنتـی بادی علیه انواع LDL تغییر یافته در بیماران مبتلا به بیماری‌های قلبـی عروقـی

Background: Atherosclrosis is a process that initiated with hypercholestrolemia and fatty streak formation. Previous studies showed oxidative modification of LDL render immunogenic and autoantibodies to epitopes of oxidized LDL. Oxidized LDL (OX-LDL), has antigenic properties. Antibodies against oxidized LDL have been proposed to be independent predictors of atherosclerosis development. The mai...

Effect of vitamin E supplementation on antibody levels against malondialdehyde modified LDL in hyperlipidemic hamsters.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of vitamin E (VE) supplementation on the formation of autoantibodies against oxidized low density lipoproteins (LDL) in a hyperlipidemic animal model. METHODS Thirty-four male hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus), (4 weeks old) were divided into three groups: Group A (n=9) was fed with standard rodent chow; group B (n=13) was fed with a ...

The effect of wet cupping on serum lipid concentrations of clinically healthy young men: a randomized controlled trial

Objectives. Reduction in serum lipoproteins, especially LDL cholesterol, is a preventive approach against atherosclerosis. Bloodletting has been a recommended method to reduce serum lipoprotein concentrations. Present study was conducted to investigate the effects of wet cupping as a method of bloodletting on serum lipoproteins. In a randomized controlled trial, 47 men, 18-25 years old, without...

Relationship between lipoprotein- and oxidation-related variables and atheroma lipid composition in subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

The relationship between atheroma lipid composition and serum lipoprotein and oxidation measurements has not been fully explored. To address this question, we studied serum, plasma, and aortic wall specimens from 66 subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The lipid composition of aortic specimens was characterized in terms of cholesterol ester and cholesterol crystal plus phos...
