The effect of the fatty acid composition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) on copper-ion-catalyzed oxidation of isolated LDL was examined in 18 normolipidemic men. The decrease in LDL linoleic acid concentration (delta L) during oxidation was found to be strongly correlated with initial LDL linoleic acid concentration (r = 0.976, n = 18, P < 0.001), whereas the production of thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) was not. The concentration of oleic acid in LDL was then increased significantly (mean increase 20%, P < 0.05) in 8 male volunteers by a daily dietary supplement of rapeseed oil/muesli for 4 weeks. The mean delay before copper-ion-catalyzed production of conjugated dienes (the lag phase) was significantly (P < 0.001) greater in LDL isolated after the study period (67 min) than that of before the study period (40 min). The rate of formation of conjugated dienes, delta L and TBARS production during oxidation of LDL was not significantly altered by the rapeseed oil/muesli supplement. These results suggest that the linoleic acid content of LDL is a determinant of individual variability in LDL oxidation, and that a rapeseed oil/muesli dietary supplement reduces the susceptibility of LDL to oxidation.

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.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009829 Oleic Acids A group of fatty acids that contain 18 carbon atoms and a double bond at the omega 9 carbon. Octadecenoic Acids,Acids, Octadecenoic,Acids, Oleic
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D005227 Fatty Acids Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (FATTY ACIDS, UNSATURATED).
