Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of LDL cholesterol based on the Friedewald formula and on apo B levels.
Eleni Bairaktari,Katerina Hatzidimou,C. Tzallas,M.P. Vini,Afroditi Katsaraki,Alexandros D. Tselepis,Moses Elisaf,Orestes Tsolas +7 more
TL;DR: The LDL-B formula is a more reliable and accurate method than the LDL-F formula, especially at TG levels >2.26 mmol/L, although it underestimates LDL-C concentrations, and can be used in hypertriglyceridemic patients in whom the Friedewald equation is inaccurate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Platelets Secrete the Plasma Type of Platelet-Activating Factor Acetylhydrolase Primarily Associated With Microparticles
TL;DR: This is the first indication that in addition to lipoproteins, PAF-AH in human plasma is carried by PMPs, suggesting that the PMP-associated PAf-AH may play a role in the dissemination of biological activities mediated by these particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Platelet-associated and secreted PAF-acetylhydrolase activity in patients with stable angina: sequential changes of the enzyme activity after angioplasty.
John A. Goudevenos,Alexandros D. Tselepis,M.P. Vini,Lambros K. Michalis,Demokritos C. Tsoukatos,M. Elisaf,Ewa Ninio,Dimitris A. Sideris +7 more
TL;DR: This work investigated the PAF‐AH activity in relation to PAF formation in platelets from patients with stable angina undergoing elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA).
