Abstract

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is prevalent among renal transplant patients. Increase in serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and very low-density lipoprotein is common in those patients. Alterations in chylomicron metabolism, however, are also related to atherogenesis and were not studied in renal transplant. The aim of this study was to evaluate chylomicron metabolism in renal transplant recipients receiving cyclosporin-based immunosuppression. We determined the plasma kinetics of triglyceride-rich emulsions labeled with [3H]triolein and [14C]cholesteryl oleate that are known to mimic the chylomicron metabolism when injected into the blood stream. Fourteen renal transplant recipients with normal renal function (10 men, 4 women, aged 40 +/- 6.1 years) and 17 age- and gender-matched healthy controls received bolus injections of the chylomicron-like emulsion. Plasma samples were then taken at regular intervals during 60 min. Disappearance curves of the labels and the respective fractional clearance rates (FCR) were calculated in order to measure lipolysis and chylomicron remnant removal from the plasma. Fasting serum lipid levels did not differ in the two groups. The difference between Median FCR of [3H]trio...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
