Journal ArticleDOI
Electronegative low-density lipoprotein.
TL;DR: It is suggested that LDL(-) could contribute to atherogenesis via several mechanisms, including proinflammatory, proapoptotic and antiangiogenesis properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronegative LDL From Normolipemic Subjects Induces IL-8 and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein Secretion by Human Endothelial Cells
Conxita de Castellarnau,José Luis Sánchez-Quesada,Sonia Benitez,Roser Rosa,Luis Caveda,Luis M. Vilá,Jordi Ordóñez-Llanos +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that LDL(−) shows proinflammatory activity on ECs and may contribute to early atherosclerotic events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Platelet-Activating Factor Acetylhydrolase Is Mainly Associated With Electronegative Low-Density Lipoprotein Subfraction
Sonia Benitez,José Luis Sánchez-Quesada,Vicent Ribas,Oscar Jorba,Francisco Blanco-Vaca,Francesc González-Sastre,Jordi Ordóñez-Llanos +6 more
TL;DR: The high PAF‐AH activity observed in LDL(−) could be related to the proinflammatory activity of these lipoproteins toward cultured endothelial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronegative LDL of FH subjects: chemical characterization and induction of chemokine release from human endothelial cells.
José Luis Sánchez-Quesada,Mercedes Camacho,Rosa Antón,Sonia Benitez,Lluis Vila,Jordi Ordóñez-Llanos +5 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that LDL(-) from FH or NL subjects shows no evidence of increased oxidative modification compared to LDL(+); however, LDL(+) induces twofold the release of chemokines by endothelial cells in FH subjects, which may contribute to leukocyte recruitment and promote atherogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density distribution of electronegative LDL in normolipemic and hyperlipemic subjects
José Luis Sánchez-Quesada,Sonia Benitez,Carles Otal,Miquel Franco,Francisco Blanco-Vaca,Jordi Ordóñez-Llanos +5 more
TL;DR: The results reveal the existence of light and dense LDL(-), indicate that hyperlipemia could promote the formation of light LDL(-) and suggest that LDL(+) could have different origins.
