The Role of Oxidative Metabolism and Antioxidants in Low-Density Lipoprotein Structure and Metabolism

  • Chapter
Free Radicals, Lipoproteins, and Membrane Lipids

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 189))

Abstract

The mechanisms by which free radicals mediate alterations in the structure and function of proteins, both in aqueous and lipid-containing (e.g. membranes and lipoproteins) systems, are of relevance in many normal and pathological conditions, since proteins are frequently the components of biological systems which are responsible for functional activity and specificity. We describe here studies of these processes in human low-density lipoprotein, and their likely relevance to atherogenesis.
