Low-Density Lipoprotein Ability to Generate Lipoperoxides in Healthy Subjects: Variations According to Age
1997
Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are recognized to be involved in atherosclerosis development. Since the plasma oxidized LDL assay is inadequate because of the short half-lives of LDLs, measurement of the in vitro ability of LDLs to generate lipoperoxides (LDL-GLs) has been preferred. The present study displays a profile of LDL-GLs in a group of 175 healthy subjects, using a method to measure thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. We have observed an increased LDL-GL level according to age.
