Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the main protein found in low-density lipoproteins (LDL), which are tiny particles that transport fat and cholesterol through the body. The process is necessary because this hormone produces many others that are important for cellular health and function....
Lately, measuring the concentration or number of lipoprotein particles has been found to be useful to assess risk. Examples of such measurements are measurements ofLDL particle number (LDL-P),apolipoprotein Band Lp(a). It has been known for some time that Lp(a) is a decisive risk factor for...
Lipoprotein(a) concentration increases during treatment with carbamazepine. Summary: Purpose: Treatment with carbamazepine (CBZ) is known to affect apolipoprotein B–containing lipoprotein concentrations in serum. However, little... S Brämswig,T Sudhop,C Luers,... - 《Epilepsia Journal of the Int...
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein: a novel target for raising HDL and inhibiting atherosclerosis. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) promotes the transfer of cholesteryl esters from antiatherogenic HDLs to proatherogenic apolipoprotein B (apoB)-c... PJ Barter,HB Brewer,MJ Chapman,... - 《...
LDL-C is only a measure of the cholesterol mass within LDL-particles. Thus, LDL-C only indirectly reflects the atherogenic potential of LDL particles. Apolipoprotein B (apoB) and LDL-P, on the other hand, reflect the number of atherogenic particles, with no mention of cholesterol mass. Ther...
BHT is odorless, odorless with good thermal stability.BHT, also known as dibutylhydroxytoluene, is a lipophilic organic compound, chemically a derivative of phenol, that is useful for its antioxidant properties.Fig 1. Chemical structure formula of BHT...

Liver fat storage, also called hepatic steatosis, is increasingly common and represents a very frequent diagnosis in the medical field. Excess fat is not without consequences. In fact, hepatic steatosis contributes to the progression toward liver fibrosi
Since the dawn of man, inflammation has been known to humanity, as it is marked by pain. Inflammation processes are related to serious chronic diseases with irreversible damage to the organism, being crucial for the development of anti-inflammatory agent
and the presence of modified lipoproteins not routinely measured in clinical practice. Nitrated lipoproteins are produced by the nitration of the tyrosyl residues of apolipoproteins by myeloperoxidase. There is some evidence from the research conducted showing that nitrated lipoproteins may play a role ...
