[Crystallization effects in serum high density lipoproteins]. 1986

N N Babich, and O A Varshavskaia, and E V Kononenko

Peculiarities of aggregation in the samples of high density serum lipoproteins LHD2 and LHD3 obtained from healthy donors and patients with ishaemic heart disease were studied under isothermal exposition. It was found that lipoprotein samples from defective serum were characterized by chemical and structural inhomogeneity. It is reflected in the formation of spherolites of various types and of well-grown dendrite forms. Growth of stepped lens-shaped crystals of cholesterol takes place in the normal serum LHD3 preparations after long exposition. Crystal growth is thought to begin according to dislocational mechanism on linear defects existing in the liquid crystalline phase; then transformation to kinetically rough surface and to normal growth of the face occurs with the concentration increase.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
