Patients with end-stage renal failure on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) develop abnormalities in plasma lipoproteins that may contribute to their increased risk for atherosclerosis. The oxidative modification of lipoproteins is considered to play a central role in atherogenesis. This study examines the susceptibility to oxidation in vitro of low- and high-density lipoprotein (LDL and HDL, respectively) obtained from long-term CAPD patients. CAPD LDL was less susceptible to copper-mediated protein derivatization (fluorescence) compared with control LDL CAPD LDL and HDL displayed less copper-promoted conjugated-diene production and lipid peroxide generation, suggesting a greater resistance of CAPD lipoprotein lipids to oxidation. Autooxidation during long-term storage was also much lower in CAPD LDL and HDL. However, when 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (ABAP) was used to initiate oxidation, there was no difference in conjugated-diene generation between CAPD and the control. CAPD LDL contained slightly less oxidizable, polyunsaturated fatty acid, but the vitamin E content of CAPD and control LDL was equivalent. Our findings indicate that lipoproteins from uremic patients undergoing long-term CAPD are more resistant to in vitro oxidation than control lipoproteins.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
