Fully oxidized LDL (OxLDL) is believed to contribute to atherogenesis in part by virtue of uptake into macrophages via specific scavenger receptors. This phenomenon results in the formation of cholesterol-loaded foam cells, a major component of atherosclerotic lesions. The present study is directed at examining the effects of OxLDL and minimally oxidized LDL (MM-LDL) on scavenger receptor expre...
Connexin36 (Cx36), a trans-membrane protein that forms gap junctions between insulin-secreting beta-cells in the Langerhans islets, contributes to the proper control of insulin secretion and beta-cell survival. Hypercholesterolemia and pro-atherogenic low density lipoproteins (LDL) contribute to beta-cell dysfunction and apoptosis in the context of Type 2 diabetes. We investigated the impact of...
BACKGROUND Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) promotes expression and secretion of endothelin-1 (ET-1), however, the precise mechanism involved is unclear. This study was designed to identify the regulatory mechanism of oxLDL-induced ET-1 expression in endothelial cells. METHODS ET-1 mRNA expression, secretion and promoter activity were evaluated by reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR), e...
Cholesterol- and cholesteryl ester-rich macrophage foam cells, characteristic of atherosclerotic lesions, are often generated in vitro using oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL). However, relatively little is known of the nature and extent of sterol deposition in these cells or of its relationship to the foam cells formed in atherosclerotic lesions. The purpose of this study was to examine ...
ApoA-1 (apolipoprotein A-1) is the main component of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and stabilizes PON-1 (paraoxonase-1), which prevents lipid peroxidation and oxLDL (oxidized low-density lipoprotein) formation. Autoantibodies against apoA-1 [anti-(apoA-1) IgG] have been found in antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosous, two diseases with an increased risk of thrombotic event...
Background—Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) promotes atherogenesis, and antioxidants reduce lesions in experimental models. OxLDL-mediated effects on c-Myc are poorly characterized, and those on c-Myc nuclear pathways are completely unknown. c-Myc stimulates smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and could be involved in atherosclerosis. We investigated the early effects of oxLDL and a-tocopherol on c-Myc,...
BACKGROUND The association between oxidised low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and cerebral infarction is suspected but not established. OBJECTIVES To determine whether plasma OxLDL is a useful marker for monitoring oxidative stress in stroke patients. METHODS Plasma OxLDL concentrations were determined in 56 stroke patients with cerebral infarction (n = 45) or cerebral haemorrhage (n = 11), a...
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and autoantibodies to OxLDL (aOxLDL) are implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. The objective of this study was to determine the importance of these factors in hypertension, a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. Samples were obtained from 111 men with established hypertension (diastolic pressure >95 mmHg) from the Swedish component of an on...

INTRODUCTION Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific complication that significantly contributes to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, even more so in developing countries such as Nepal. The potential contribution of dyslipidemia and elevated levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in the pathogenesis of preeclamptic pregnancies has been observed in several studie...
