The development of new methods to assess biomarkers of cardiovascular disease is
currently a subject of scientific research. This article broadens our view of nonlinear optical …

The great atherogenic potential of oxidized low-density lipoprotein has been widely
described in the literature. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the state of …

The Z-Scan optical technique was recently used to measure the non-linear optical response
of human lipoproteins, in particular low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, regarding their …

Significance Blood lipid levels (ie, triglycerides (TGs) and cholesterol) are a strong predictor
of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Current methods for measuring blood lipids require …

Background Despite lipid-lowering and antiplatelet therapy, the pattern of residual
lipoproteins seems relevant to long-term cardiovascular outcomes. This study aims to …

The nonlinear optical response of human normal and oxidized by Cu2+ low-density
lipoproteins particles (LDL), were investigated by the Z-scan technique as a function of …

Aim: We explored the superiority of small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-
C) as a marker for predicting not only the occurrence of cardiovascular (CV) events but also …

Human serum lipoproteins are biological nanoparticles that transport insoluble cholesterol
and triacylglycerol molecules between the liver, intestine and peripheral tissues. Various …

Purpose: To analyze the association between macular pigment optical density (MPOD),
which reflects lutein (L), zeaxanthin (Z), and meso-zeaxanthin (MZ) in the macula, and …

Quantification of atherosclerosis has been a challenging task owing to its complex
pathology. In this study, we validated a quantitative approach for assessing atherosclerosis …
