Objectives-Aim: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) seems to play an important role in the etiology of atherosclerosis. They stumulate atherosclerosis. Glucocorticoids decrease LDL degradation and expression of LDL receptor. Morever insulin resistance in glucocorticoid excess state may contribute to LDL oxidation changes. The aim of this study was to investigate, the LDL oxidation in glucocorticoid excess state and the effect of atorvastatin on LDL oxidation.<p class="...

Objectives-Aim: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) seems to play an important role in the etiology of atherosclerosis. They stumulate atherosclerosis. Oestradiol and other oestrogens have been shown to be powerful antioxidants in vitro when they are added to ldl oxidation mixtures. Oestrogen deficiency states are increases LDL oxidation. The aim of this study is investigate the effect of growth hormone on LDL oxidation in estrogen deficiency.Materia...
