Oxidized lipoproteins and infectious agents: are they in collusion to accelerate atherogenesis?
Recent epidemiological studies have documented an increased incidence of some forms of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients who have chronic infections and inflammatory disorders. Chlamydia pneumonia1–3 and herpes viruses4–6 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of CAD on the basis of their detection in human atherosclerotic plaques and epidemiological evidence of a higher incidence of ...
متن کاملOxidized Low Density Lipoproteins
The direct vasoactive effects of native and oxidatively modified low density lipoproteins as well as their effects on endothelium-dependent relaxations to 5-hydroxytryptamine were studied in isolated rings of pig right coronary artery. Slowly developing contractions were caused by native low density lipoproteins (100 gg protein/ml). The contractions were more pronounced in the absence than in t...
متن کاملOxidized HDL: the paradox-idation of lipoproteins.
The strong inverse relationship between HDL level and risk for coronary artery disease has been attributed to different mechanisms. More than 30 years ago, Glomset1 proposed that HDL mediates the transfer of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver, where the sterol and its oxygenated products are excreted into the bile. Subsequent studies demonstrated that HDL accepts cholesterol from ...
متن کاملCirculating Oxidized Low-Density Lipoproteins and Antibodies against Oxidized Low-Density Lipoproteins as Potential Biomarkers of Colorectal Cancer
Introduction. The aim of the study was evaluation of the diagnostic utility of serum oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL), antibodies against oxLDLs (o-LAB), and CEA as risk markers of colorectal cancer (CRC). Material and Methods. The serum levels of study factors were measured in 73 patients with CRC and in 35 healthy controls who were gender- and BMI-matched to the study group. Concentr...
