Lipid accumulation in the arterial wall is a crucial event in the development of atherosclerotic
lesions. Circulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the major source of lipids that …

Vitamin C (ASC) is well known as an outstanding antioxidant in animal tissues. This concept
is reviewed from a chemical standpoint, starting from a chemical view of radical reactions in …

Treatment of low density lipoprotein (LDL) with degrading enzymes transforms the molecule
to a moiety that is micromorphologically indistinguishable from lipoproteinaceous particles …

Protein glycosylation is a post-translational modification consisting in the enzymatic
attachment of carbohydrate chains to specific residues of the protein sequence. Several …

In atherosclerosis; blood low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are subjected to multiple enzymatic
and non-enzymatic modifications that increase their atherogenicity and induce …

Atherosclerosis is a disease that affects large arteries. The early atherosclerotic lesion, the
fatty streak, is characterized by the build up of lipids in the intima. These lipids are derived …

A subclass of LDL described on the basis of its greater electronegativity and oxidative status
is further characterized using a new, highly sensitive single photon counting technique to …

Inflammation can predispose to myocardial infarction (MI), and mannan binding lectin (MBL)
promotes phagocytic clearance of inflammatory agents, but the predictive value of MBL …

In earlier studies we have found that incubation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) with
autologous blood plasma-derived serum leads to a loss of sialic acid from lipoprotein …

It has been suggested that low density lipoprotein-containing circulating immune complexes
(LDL-CIC) play a role in atherogenesis and are involved in the formation of early …
