... metabolism. The study was performed on GS and age- and gender-matched healthy subjects ( n =59 per group). Full lipoprotein profile, TAG (triacylglycerols), Apo (apolipoprotein)-A1, Apo-B, lipoprotein(a), the subfractions of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and selected pro-inflammatory mediators were analysed...

... to atherosclerosis [ 14 ]. In contrast with humans, mice naturally have high levels of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and low levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein). Genetically modified mice with disorders in lipid metabolism, such as inactivation of the gene encoding the ApoE (apolipoprotein E) are therefore...

...Theodore W. K. Ng; Dick C. Chan; P. Hugh R. Barrett; Gerald F. Watts Reduced HDL (high-density lipoprotein) concentration in the MetS (metabolic syndrome) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and is related to defects in HDL-apoA-II (apolipoprotein A-II) kinetics. Dietary...

... (lipoprotein lipase) activity. To test our hypothesis, we measured basal VLDL-TAG and VLDL-apoB-100 (apolipoprotein B-100), and plasma NEFA [non-esterified fatty acid (‘free fatty acid’)] kinetics, by using stable isotope-labelled tracer techniques, on the morning after a single session of evening exercise...

... (interleukin-6) and TNF-α (tumour necrosis factor-α). Finally, HDL (high-density lipoprotein) particles are another target for oxidative stress, and it is possible to measure oxidized apo (apolipoprotein) A-I and apoA-II as markers for in vivo HDL-cholesterol oxidation. The role of oxHDL (oxidized HDL...

... oxidized forms of apoA-I (apolipoprotein A-I) by HPLC of HDL (high-density lipoprotein). Median values of F 2 -isoprostanes were higher in plasma samples that contained oxidized apoA-I compared with samples with undetectable oxidized apoA-I (1542 compared with 1165 pmol/l). F 2 -Isoprostanes were...

... of the lipoprotein-related risk of vascular disease, the apoB (apolipoprotein B-100)/apoA-I (apolipoprotein A-I) ratio, and body composition in established migrant South Asians and white Caucasians living in Canada. Men and women living in Montreal, Canada between the ages of 20–60 years were recruited...
