| Abstract: | The treatment of HDL3 with malondialdehyde (MDA) results in an increase of the electrophoretic mobility of the particle and in aggregation of the apolipoprotein AI. The binding of MDA-treated-HDL3 to murine macrophages J774 is decreased, as compared to native HDL3. The cholesterol efflux is also markedly reduced. In view of the fact that MDA is produced following plaquette aggregation or oxidative stress, the eventual existence of MDA-modified-HOL in vivo might accelerate the appearance of atherosclerotic lesions by reducing cellular cholesterol efflux. |
