different classes of autoantibodies against two antigenic forms of modified low density lipoprotein (mod-ldl) were detected in 140 patients by indirect elisa method. investigated autoantibodes included total immunoglobulins (igt). immunoglobulin g (igg), and immunoglobulin m (igm) against oxidized ldl with copper ions (ox-ldl) and modified ldl with malondialdehyde (mal-ldl) (igt-o) igt against ...

oxidized ldl (ox-ldl) lipoproteins are proposed as important modified particles triggering pro-inflammatory events through receptor-mediated pathways. we evaluated the circulating ox-ldl level on the concept that the chronic immune events may affect ox-ldl clearance as the vessel stenosis develops in coronary arteries. one hundred sixty five subjects underwent coronary angiography and then, sub...

the affinity of low density lipoprotein (ldl) to its receptor is very important, because most of ldl-uptake pathway is done by the ldl receptor and the change in size of ldl particle and the modification in its components may affects the ldl affinity for its receptor. in this study, the effects of lipophilic agents such as vitamin e and seven volatile oils: anethol, eugenol, geraniol, limonene,...

The affinity of low density lipoprotein(LDL) to its receptor is very important, because most of LDL-uptake pathway is done by the LDL receptor and the change in size of LDL particle and the modification in its components may affect the LDL affinity for its receptor. In this study, the effects of a powerful lipid-soluble antioxidant “ubiquinol-10” have been investigated on the affinity of LDL to...

Introduction: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in serum is the basis of diagnosis, classification and management hypercholesterolemia as per current recommendations Adult Treatment Panel III National Cholesterol Education Program. Friedewalds formula used most laboratories to measure LDL-C indirectly. But, not reliable always. Now-a-days, various homogenous assay kits for dire...

Objective: To assess the oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to (LDL) ratio as an indicator of subclinical atherosclerosis in haemodialysis patients Methodology: This case control study was carried out at Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center Karachi, from January December 2018. The were selected dialysis center (group B) whereas controls recruited normal healthy population A). access statu...
