Mechanistic Insights into the Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein-Induced Atherosclerosis
Dyslipidaemia has a prominent role in the onset of notorious atherosclerosis, a disease of medium to large arteries. Atherosclerosis is the prime root of cardiovascular events contributing to the most considerable number of morbidity and mortality ...

Atorvastatin increases human serum levels of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has gained attention as a key regulator of serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. This novel protease causes the degradation of hepatic low density lipoprotein receptors. In humans,

Is 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 ...

Platelet interaction with bioactive lipids formed by mild oxidation of low-density lipoprotein [PDF]
Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) generates pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic mediators that play a crucial role in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

Low-Density Lipoproteins Oxidation and Endometriosis [PDF]
The etiopathogenesis of endometriosis still remains unknown. Recent data provide new valuable information concerning the role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of the disease. It has been proved that levels of different lipid peroxidation end products are increased in both peritoneal fluid (PF) and serum of endometriotic patients.

High density lipoprotein metabolism in low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice1[S]
The LDL receptor (LDLR) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) play physiological roles in LDL and HDL metabolism in vivo. In this study, we explored HDL metabolism in LDLR-deficient mice in comparison with WT littermates.

The effect of eight weeks of 30-20-10 interval training on serum spexin levels and lipid profile in obese middle-aged men [PDF]
Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 30-20-10 interval training on the serum spexin level and lipid profile of obese men in order to measure the effect of physical activity on increasing spexin and improving ...

Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein [PDF]
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) has been studied for over 25 years. Numerous pro- and anti-atherogenic properties have been attributed to Ox-LDL. Yet, Ox-LDL has neither been defined nor characterized, as its components and composition change depending on its source, method of preparation, storage, and use. It contains unoxidized and oxidized
