Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction data of two different human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subfractions.
Human LDL subfractions LDL-2 (d = 1.031-1.034 g/ml) and LDL-5 (d = 1.040-1.044 g/ml) were crystallized in two different crystal forms by using polyethylene glycol as a precipitant. Both fractions were from one donor. Crystals of LDL-5 were yellow, hexagonal, and showed no dichroism. Crystals of LDL-2 were of the same color, had a rodlike shape with notches at both ends, and were highly dichroit...
متن کاملDiscordance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol with alternative LDL-related measures and future coronary events.
BACKGROUND Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the traditional measure of risk attributable to LDL. Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHDL-C), apolipoprotein B (apoB), and LDL particle number (LDL-P) are alternative measures of LDL-related risk. However, the clinical utility of these measures may only become apparent among individuals for whom levels are inconsistent (discord...
متن کاملRatio of Dense to Buoyant LDL Subclass is Associated with LDL Density Phenotype (VLDL-5)
Background: Dense LDL phenotypes are associated with increased atherogenicity, and are commonly evaluated for the purposes of atherosclerosis research and cardiovascular risk discrimination. Objective: To examine the ability of LDL subclasses, expressed as a ratio of dense-to-buoyant subclass, to predict LDL
متن کاملReactivity of direct assays for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol toward charge-modified LDL in hypercholesterolemia.
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to compare 2 direct measurements for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with the Friedewald calculation (LDL-C [F]) in serum and their relationship with size-and charge-based LDL subfractions in serum ultracentrifugation fractions in patients with hypercholesterolemia (HC). METHODS AND RESULTS Serum samples from 283 HC patients who particip...
متن کاملMathematical Model for Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Endocytosis by Hepatocytes
Individuals with elevated levels of plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) are considered to be at risk of developing coronary heart disease. LDL particles are removed from the blood by a process known as receptor-mediated endocytosis, which occurs mainly in the liver. A series of classical experiments delineated the major steps in the endocytotic process; apolipoprotein B-100...
