Cell-mediated lipoprotein transport: A novel anti-atherogenic concept

Lipoprotein transport is thought to occur in the plasma compartment of the blood, where lipoproteins are modulated by various enzymatic reactions. Subsequently, lipoproteins can migrate through the endothelial barrier to the subendothelial space or are taken up by the liver. The interaction between pro-atherogenic (apoB-containing) lipoproteins and blood cells (especially monocytes and macrophages) in the subendothelial space is well known. This lipoprotein-inflammatory cell interplay is central in the development of the atherosclerotic plaque. In this review, a novel interaction is described between lipoproteins and both leukocytes and erythrocytes in the blood compartment. This lipoprotei…

Efecto del género y de la obesidad en la lipemia posprandial en sujetos sanos normolipidémicos no diabéticos y sujetos con hiperlipemia familiar combinada

Introduccion Un nuevo metodo basado en la autodeterminacion de trigliceridos (TG) capilares permite un mejor conocimiento de la lipemia posprandial (LP). Los objetivos de nuestro estudio son analizar el efecto del genero y la obesidad sobre la LP valorada por medicion capilar de TG diurnos mediante Accutrend GCT® en sujetos sanos y sujetos con hiperlipemia familiar combinada (HFC). Material y metodos Hemos estudiado a 23 sujetos con HFC no relacionados entre si (10 hombres) y a 45 sujetos (29 hombres) normolipidemicos no diabeticos. Todos ellos realizaron tres perfiles diarios de TG capilares durante una semana. Resultados En los sujetos sanos normolipidemicos no diabeticos encontramos valo…
