Age-dependent changes in lipid peroxide levels in the lipoprotein fractions of human serum. 1984

M Hagihara, and I Nishigaki, and M Maseki, and K Yagi

Lipid peroxide levels in serum lipoprotein fractions of young and old individuals, who had no significant disease, were studied. The lipid peroxide level, amount of lipids, and the ratio of the former to the latter were significantly elevated in the low density lipoprotein fraction of older adults. This indicates that the elevation of the serum lipid peroxide levels in older adults is mainly due to increased lipid peroxide level in the low density lipoprotein fraction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008054 Lipid Peroxides Peroxides produced in the presence of a free radical by the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the cell in the presence of molecular oxygen. The formation of lipid peroxides results in the destruction of the original lipid leading to the loss of integrity of the membranes. They therefore cause a variety of toxic effects in vivo and their formation is considered a pathological process in biological systems. Their formation can be inhibited by antioxidants, such as vitamin E, structural separation or low oxygen tension.

D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
