Abstract

A novel, open tubular capillary electrochromatographic method was developed for the in vitro oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles. Low-density lipoprotein particles with molar mass of approximately 2.5 MDa yielded a stable stationary phase at temperatures 25 and 37 degrees C and at pH values from 3.2 to 7.4. The quality of the coatings was not influenced by variations in the LDL concentration in the coating solutions (within the range of 2-0.015 mg/mL) with the coating procedure used in the study. Radiolabeled LDL stationary phases and scanning electron microscopy, employed to shed light on the location and coating density of LDL particles on the inner surface of the capillary wall, confirmed the presence of an LDL monolayer and almost 100% coating efficiency (99 +/- 8%). In addition, the radioactivity measurements allowed estimation of the amount of LDL present in a single capillary coating. Capillaries coated with human LDL particles were submitted to different oxidative conditions by changing the concentration of the oxidant (CuSO4), oxidation time, pH value, and temperature. The oxidation procedure was followed with electroosmotic flow mobility, which served as an indicator of the increase in total negative ...Continue Reading

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.
