Rats were treated for 12 weeks with either placebo (P), cerivastatin (C; 0.6 mg/kg body weight per day) as a dietary supplement, or cerivastatin plus the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor N-methyl-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 76 mg/100 ml) and hydralazine (8 mg/100 ml)...
High lipoprotein(a) levels and small apolipoprotein(a) sizes are associated with endothelial dysfunction in a multiethnic cohort. ObjectivesThis study sought to determine the effect of lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), levels and apolipoprotein(a), or apo(a), sizes on endothelial function and... HD ...

(NICU).#Of 228 BPD and 113 non-BPD extremely preterm infants, univariate analysis found that triglyceride (TG,P<0.01) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL,P=0.04) levels on the first day of admission were significantly lower in BPD infants, however, apolipoprotein A1 levels were higher than ...
Apolipoprotein B (apoB), lipoprotein A (Lp(a)), high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), LDL-C and coronary calcium score (CAC) have all been shown to be effective predictors of CVD risk. However, recent studies have shown that apoB may be the best predictor for plaque rupture. Objective/...
SAA is an apolipoprotein and a component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles [55]. Serum amyloid A3 (SAA3) participates in lipid metabolism, cholesterol transport, and apoptosis of mammary epithelial cells [56–58]. Several previous studies showed that the mRNA level of SAA3 changed ...
In addition, for the biochemical tests, 19 biological indexes (lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, GOT, GPT, chlorine, glucose, total cholesterol, phospholipid, potassium, inorganic phosphorus, sodium, polyhydroxybutyrate, lactate, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acid...

Formation of isolevuglandin-lysine adducts on apolipoprotein B was readily detected during oxidation of low density lipoprotein following enzymatic digestion of the protein to single amino acids. These studies identify a novel series of extremely reactive products of the isoprostane pathway that rapidly ...
Background: Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], a subcomponent of LDL cholesterol, has been associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease. We report a case of a remarkably elevated Lp(a) in a healthy, young male that influenced the clinical care. Case Report:A 44-year old ...
