Recent studies have demonstrated that Apo AIV exerts a protective effect against
atherosclerosis. Moreover, Qin et al.(Am. J. Physiol. 274 (1998) H1836) have demonstrated
that Apo AIV, isolated from rat plasma, exerts an inhibitory effect against Cu2+-induced lipid
peroxidation of intestinal lymph and LDL. The aim of the study was to investigate whether
human Apo AIV exerts a protective effect against Cu2+-induced lipid peroxidation. Our
results demonstrated that human Apo AIV exerted an inhibitory effect against Cu2+ and …
