Abstract

Rat hepatic apometallothionein and to a lesser extent Zn-metallothionein inhibit Fe(2+)-dependent lipid peroxidation (LPO) in suspensions of egg yolk lipoproteins. ZnCl2 or its combination with cysteine at corresponding concentrations activate LPO.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
