متن کاملVery Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL)
Triglyceride (TG) or more accurately triacylglycerol is simply a compound of three acyl groups (fatty acids) attached to a glycerol molecule. They are easily measured in the laboratory and reported as serum TG level: it actually refers to all of the TG that are being trafficked within all of the lipoproteins that exist in a deciliter of plasma. A physiologic fasting TG concentration is on avera...
متن کاملLong-Term Safety and Efficacy of Lowering Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol With Statin Therapy
BACKGROUND Extended follow-up of statin-based low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering trials improves the understanding of statin safety and efficacy. Examining cumulative cardiovascular events (total burden of disease) gives a better appreciation of the clinical value of statins. This article evaluates the long-term impact of therapy on mortality and cumulative morbidity in a high-risk co...
متن کاملLow density lipoprotein and very low density lipoprotein are selectively bound by aggregated C-reactive protein
C-reactive protein (CRP), the classical acute-phase protein, can bind phospholipids by virtue of its specific, calcium-dependent reactivity with phosphorylcholine residues. However, analysis of acute-phase serum by gel filtration and by density gradient ultracentrifugation showed that the CRP was in a free, uncomplexed form, despite the coexistent presence of the various classes of serum lipopr...
متن کاملIs hypertriglyceridemic very low density lipoprotein a precursor of normal low density lipoprotein?
The precursor-product relationship of very low density (VLDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) was studied. VLDL obtained from normal (NTG) and hypertriglyceridemic (HTG) subjects was fractionated by zonal ultracentrifugation and subjected to in vitro lipolysis. The individual subfractions and their isolated lipolysis products, as well as IDL and LDL, were rigorously characterized. A striking...
