A new method for low density lipoprotein (LDL) (d 1.019-1.063 g/ml)-apolipoprotein B (apoB) determination has been developed, based on the fact that very low density and intermediate density lipoproteins (VLDL and IDL) contain apolipoprotein C-I (apoC-I), whereas this apolipoprotein is apparently absent in LDL. VLDL and IDL were quantitatively precipitated with a monospecific anti-apoC-I antibo...

In this study, we examined the association between soy isoflavones and lipid profiles, apolipoprotein levels in patients with type 2 diabetes in China. The study population was composed of 120 cases (80 women with type 2 diabetes and 40 healthy women). Objects in treatment group received isoflavones 435 mg/day for 2 months, then lipid profiles were analyzed by the colorimetry method and apolipo...

BACKGROUND High-density lipoprotein (HDL) protects against arterial atherothrombosis, but it is unknown whether it protects against recurrent venous thromboembolism. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 772 patients after a first spontaneous venous thromboembolism (average follow-up 48 months) and recorded the end point of symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism, which developed in 100 of the ...

Article type: Original article Background & aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between lipid and apolipoprotein B-100 (apo B-100) levels in maternal and umbilical cord sera as well as the effects of these components on anthropometric measurements of newborn infants. Methods: This correlational study was performed on 85 appropriate for gestational age (AGA) newborns and their mo...

A cDNA clone of the human apolipoprotein B-100 was used as a hybridization probe to detect homologous sequences in both flow-sorted and in situ metaphase chromosomes. The results indicate that the gene encoding this protein is on the distal end of the short arm of chromosome 2 (2p23-2p24). RNA isolated from monkey small intestine contained sequences (6.5 and 18 kilobases) homologous to the cDNA...
