Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are recognized to be involved in atherosclerosis development. Since the plasma oxidized LDL assay i s inadequate because of the short half-lives of LDLs, measurement of t he in vitro ability of LDLs to generate lipoperoxides (LDL GLs) has be en preferred. The present study displays a profile of LDL-GLs in a gro up of 175 healthy subjects, using a method to measure thiobarbituric a cid-reactive substances. We have observed an increased LDL GL level ac cording to age.
