Does endothelium-dependent coronary vasomotion relate to the susceptibility of LDL to oxidation in humans?
In patients treated with lipid-lowering agents, the vasodilator response to acetylcholine is related to the susceptibility of LDL to oxidation. These findings suggest that oxidative stress is an important determinant of the coronary endothelial dysfunction observed in patients with atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia.
Great caution should be taken when the deuterium content of disaccharides is determined by MALDI MS. Aside from the use of non-protic solvents, DHB is the matrix of choice, whereas 9-AA shows a considerable influence on the observed isotope pattern in dependence on the applied laser fluence.
