[Non-enzymatically glycosylated low-density lipoproteins in diabetes mellitus]. 1987

A Tsanev, and V Petrova, and S Bradistilov, and N Petrunova

In 24 diabetic patients and 23 healthy persons the fatty metabolism was studied (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol and glycosylated LD-lipoproteins). Iin diabetic patients the glycosylated low density lipoproteins travel from the cathode to the anode at a distance of 37-57 mm and in the control group they travel to a distance of 18-22 mm. In spite of the insignificant differences of cholesterol levels between the diabetics and the control and of the total cholesterol level being in normal ranges, the nonenzymatically glycosylated LD-lipoproteins are in greater quantity in the diabetics which is a predisposing factor for early atherosclerosis. The establishment of a correlation between the blood sugar level and that of the glycosylated LD-lipoproteins in diabetic patients could serve as a criterion for early atherosclerosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

D006031 Glycosylation The synthetic chemistry reaction or enzymatic reaction of adding carbohydrate or glycosyl groups. GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASES carry out the enzymatic glycosylation reactions. The spontaneous, non-enzymatic attachment of reducing sugars to free amino groups in proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids is called GLYCATION (see MAILLARD REACTION).
