Lipolysis-induced iron release from diferric transferrin: possible role of lipoprotein lipase in LDL oxidation
Conditions leading to oxidation of LDL in vivo are still unknown. While the occurrence of oxidized lipoproteins and catalytic free iron in advanced atherosclerotic lesions has been demonstrated, the origin of both is unclear. In vivo, iron metabolism is tightly regulated by iron-binding proteins tha...
