Intermediate-density lipoprotein as an independent risk factor for aortic atherosclerosis in hemodialysis patients. [PDF]
Patients with chronic renal failure often show accumulation of intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL). Because recent studies have emphasized the atherogenicity of IDL in the general population, we evaluated the relationship between this lipoprotein and aortic atherosclerosis in uremic patients treated with hemodialysis. Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV)

Role of hepatic lipase in intermediate-density lipoprotein and small, dense low-density lipoprotein formation in hemodialysis patients [PDF]
It has been reported that remnant lipoproteins and small, dense low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. To determine whether these risk factors are present in hemodialysis (HD) patients who are suffering from a high incidence of atherosclerotic vascular disease, we measured concentrations of remnant lipoproteins and

Upon incubation with rat liver membranes, radioiodinated rat intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) interacted with at least two binding sites having a low and a high affinity as demonstrated by the curvilinear Scatchard plots obtained from the specific binding data. The purpose of our work was to identify the nature of these binding sites.

The conversion of very low density (VLDL) to low density lipoproteins (LDL) is a two-step process. The first step is mediated by lipoprotein lipase, but the mechanism responsible for the second is obscure.

A new lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT)-deficient family was found in Japan. In the proband, both LCAT activity and LCAT mass were deficient. The patient's parents, child, and sister, diagnosed as heterozygotes, had half-normal LCAT activity and LCAT mass. In the patient, an increase of intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL, 1.006 less than d

Non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol in adolescence as a predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in adulthood [PDF]
Defined as the total cholesterol minus high-density lipoprotein (HDL), non-HDL cholesterol has been increasingly acknowledged as a measure of risk estimation for developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD).

Mechanism, clinical consequences, and management of dyslipidemia in children with nephrotic syndrome [PDF]
Dyslipidemia in nephrotic syndrome (NS) is often characterized by marked increases in the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and other lipoproteins, such as very low-density lipoprotein, intermediate-density ...

Influence of intermediate-density lipoproteins on the accuracy of the Friedewald formula [PDF]
Abstract Values of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (C) according to the Friedewald formula (Clin Chem 1972;18:499-502) were compared with those obtained by lipoprotein fractionation in 98 healthy subjects (control group), 135 specimens from patients with peripheral vascular and cerebrovascular disease (atherosclerotic group ...
