Homocysteine content of lipoproteins in hypercholesterolemia
AJ Olszewski, KS McCully - Atherosclerosis, 1991 - Elsevier
In order to study the connection between homocysteine and lipid metabolism in
atherosclerosis, homocysteine was determined in lipoprotein fractions from men with
hypercholesterolemia. All lipoprotein fractions contain a considerably higher level of
homocysteine in hypercholesterolemia, compared to normolipemic men, varying from 2.2 to
7.2 tunes higher, estimated per unit volume of serum used for lipoprotein isolation, and from
2.4 to 4.1 times higher, estimated per gram protein. The largest difference in homocysteine …
