Paraoxonase prevents accumulation of lipoperoxides in low‐density lipoprotein

Mackness, Michael I., Arrol, Sharon, Durrington, Paul N.·1991·FEBS Letters

Abstract

Oxidative modification of low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) enhances its uptake by macrophages in tissue culture and in vivo may underly the formation of arterial fatty streaks, the progenitors of atheroma. We investigated the possible protection which high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) affords against LDL oxidation. The formation of lipoperoxides and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances when LDL was incubated with copper ions was significantly decreased by HDL. The enzyme, paraoxonase (E.C. 3.1.8.1), purified from human HDL, had a similar effect and thus may be the component of HDL responsible for decreasing the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
