Abstract:

A simple method for quantification of modified low-density lipoproteins (mLDL) in the blood serum containing 8.9% polyvinylpyrrolidone solution 12600 +/- 2700 has been developed. The results show that 10 min incubation of serum in a buffer containing 8.9% PVP leads to complete aggregation mLDL. Atherogenicity of aggregated mLDLs is experimentally confirmed by two independent tests (mLDLs bind and activate the complement system of a guinea pig (pro-inflammatory effect) and cause platelet hyperaggregation (thrombogenic effect)). The proposed method is simple and involves only two steps: mixing the serum with a solution of PVP and recording the turbidity. The method allows to register the presence of mLDL directly in serum without its prior fractionation.
