The oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDL) by arterial wall cells is thought to contribute to atherogenesis. Monocyte/macrophages, among other arterial wall cells, oxidatively modify LDL to a form that is recognized by scavenger ...

Differences in GlycA and lipoprotein particle parameters may help distinguish acute kawasaki disease from other febrile illnesses in children. [PDF]
BackgroundGlycosylation patterns of serum proteins, such as α1-acid glycoprotein, are modified during an acute phase reaction. The response of acute Kawasaki disease (KD) patients to IVIG treatment has been linked to sialic acid levels on native IgG ...

Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), hepatic lipase (HL), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) have all been reported to be intricately involved in HDL metabolism but the effect of PLTP on the apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins relative to that of HL and ...

Proteins and Lipoproteins in Yolk From Eggs of the Estuarine Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus): A Comparison With Egg Yolk Of The Hen (Gallus domesticus) [PDF]
1. The livetin patterns of the two species Crocodylus porosus and Gallus domesticus were very different and it was difficult to find a correspondence. 2. In C. porosus the granules were a larger proportion of the total yolk but they contained very little

Receptor-mediated low density lipoprotein catabolism in man.
Binding of human low density lipoproteins (LDL) to their specific receptor on cultured cells can be inhibited by treatment with 1,2-cyclohexanedione which blocks a number of functionally significant arginyl residues on the apolipoprotein.

Low density lipoprotein misfolding and amyloidogenesis
ABSTRACT In early atherogenesis, subendothelial retention of lipidic droplets is associated with an inflammatory response‐to‐injury, culminating in the formation of foam cells and plaque. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is the main constituent of subendothelial lipidic droplets.

Charge properties of low density lipoprotein subclasses
Measurements of electrophoretic mobility and particle size of low density lipoproteins (LDL) allowed use of standard electrokinetic theory to quantitate LDL charge characteristics from subjects with predominance of large LDL (pattern A, n = 9) or small ...

Relation of hyperlipidemia in serum and loss of high density lipoproteins in urine in the nephrotic syndrome [PDF]
The mechanism leading to hyperlipidemia in the nephrotic syndrome is not fully understood but may be related in part to loss of high density lipoproteins in the urine of patients with nephrosis.

Oxidative Low Density Lipoprotein and Exercise: A Historical and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to use the meta-analytic approach to determine the impact of exercise on oxidized low density lipoproteins in an adolescent population and the role of oxidized low density lipoprotein in the etiology of ...
