Oxidative stress (OS), defined as disturbances in the pro-/antioxidant balance, is harmful to
cells due to the excessive generation of highly reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) …

This review focuses on the role of oxidative processes in atherosclerosis and its resultant
cardiovascular events. There is now a consensus that atherosclerosis represents a state of …

In this review, our basic and most recent understanding of copper biochemistry and
molecular biology for mammals (including humans) is described. Information is provided on …

Infection and inflammation induce the acutephase response (APR), leading to multiple
alterations in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Plasma triglyceride levels increase from …

Copper (Cu), a redox active metal, is an essential nutrient for all species studied to date.
During the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the concept that marginal …

Examines the relationship between the increase in plasma cholesterol and the risk of clinical
coronary artery disease (CAD). Importance of the oxidative modification of low-density …

We previously reported that high density lipoprotein (HDL) protects against the oxidative
modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) induced by artery wall cells causing these cells …

This article reviews our current understanding of the mechanisms of low-density lipoprotein
(LDL) oxidation and the potential role of oxidized lipoproteins in atherosclerosis. Studies in …

The term antioxidant is widely used but rarely defined. One suggested definition is that an
antioxidant is'a substance that, when present at low concentrations compared with those of …

Hypoalbuminemia predicts death in dialysis patients. Although hypoalbuminemia has been
attributed to malnutrition, evidence of inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP] and cytokine …
