Non-oxidative modification of native low-density lipoprotein by oxidized low-density lipoprotein.
The oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, although little is known as yet about the precise mechanism of oxidation in vivo. The studies presented here demonstrate that, in the absence of cells or transition metals, oxidized LDL can modify native LDL through co-incubation in vitro such as to increase its net negative c...
متن کاملOxidized low-density lipoprotein in postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) leads to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, the most frequent causes of death worldwide. After menopause, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism changes and women are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease compared to fertile women. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of serum oxLDL in postmenopausal women and to identi...
متن کاملSusceptibility of low-density lipoprotein to oxidative modification.
The effects of six flavonoids viz., apigenin, genistein, morin, naringin, pelargonidin and quercetin on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidative modification were investigated. Flavonoids were added to plasma and incubated for 3 hr at 37 degrees C, and the LDL fraction was separated by ultracentrifugation. Oxidizability of LDL was estimated by measuring conjugated diene ...
متن کاملProbucol inhibits oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein.
Previous studies have established that low density lipoprotein (LDL) incubated with endothelial cells (EC) undergoes extensive oxidative modification in structure and that the modified LDL is specifically recognized by the acetyl LDL receptor of the macrophage. Thus, in principle, EC-modified LDL could contribute to foam cell formation during atherogenesis. Oxidatively modified LDL is also pote...
متن کاملA macrophage receptor that recognizes oxidized low density lipoprotein but not acetylated low density lipoprotein.
The formation of cholesterol-loaded macrophage foam cells in arterial tissue may occur by the uptake of modified lipoproteins via the scavenger receptor pathway. The macrophage scavenger receptor, also called the acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) receptor, has been reported to recognize Ac-LDL as well as oxidized LDL species such as endothelial cell-modified LDL (EC-LDL). We now repor...
