Background. – Recent studies showed the intervention of free radicals in the genesis of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. It has been established that oxidized LDL are involved in the genesis of arteriosclerosis.Aim. – Based on... more
Oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in- duced by incubation with Cu 2 1 ions results in the formation of a heterogeneous group of aldehydic adducts on lysyl resi- dues (Lys) of apolipoprotein B (apoB) that are thought to be... more
Theoretical probabilistic kinetic model has been applied to describe the measurements of several oxidation markers as a function of time, during slow oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). It has been demonstrated that such a process... more
Abstract—Mice expressing human apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV) mainly in the intestine were obtained in an apolipoprotein E–deficient (apoE 0 ) background (apoA-IV/E 0 mice). Quantification of aortic lesions and plasma lipid determination... more
BackgroundOxidative stress-induced endothelial dysfunction and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) might play a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We recently identified a vascular endothelial scavenger receptor,... more
Background Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) inhibits angiogenesis in part by downregulating endothelial basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). To determine the mechanism of the downregulation, we investigated the signal transduction pathway involving... more
An imperative event in foam cells generation in the atherosclerosis is the LDL oxidation. When this particle is oxidized they are recognized by macrophage which begins to convert on reactive cells producing growing factor and inducing... more

Background: Arctigenin, a lignan polyphenol found in burdock sprout, is a potent activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and has beneficial effects on metabolic disorders in mice. This highlights the potential value of arctigenin... more
The incidence of atherosclerosis can be modified by diet, and plant-derived proteins have a beneficial effect, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. It has been suggested that oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and autoantibodies against oxLDL... more
Lipid peroxidation and oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) have been implicated as causal factors in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, and prevention of LDL oxidation by antioxidants may be an effective strategy to... more
Studies with mice have revealed that increased expression of apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II) results in elevations in high density lipoprotein (HDL), the formation of larger HDL, and the development of early atherosclerosis. We now show... more
Aims/hypothesis. Oxidized LDL is immunogenic and immune complexes formed by oxidized LDL and corresponding antibodies are pro-atherogenic and pro-inflammatory. Considering that macroalbuminuria is a risk factor for coronary heart disease... more
