Is plasma 27-hydroxycholesterol/cholesterol ratio increased in low high density lipoprotein-cholesterol healthy subjects?
Our data indicate that the production of 27-OHC by extrahepatic tissues and its transport to the liver may represent an alternative pathway for a deficient reverse cholesterol transport system when plasma HDL-C is low.
Ulinastatin 300,000 units might be useful to inhibit blood transfusion-induced increase of PMNE but not IL-6. The inhibition of PMNE increase by ulinastatin was independent of IL-6.
