Evidence that lipid hydroperoxides inhibit plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity

Evidence that lipid hydroperoxides inhibit plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity

The oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Recently, we found that polar lipids isolated from minimally oxidized LDL produced a dramatic inhibition of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity, suggesting that HDL-cholestero...
