✦ Synopsis

Oxidatively modified low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL) have been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that antioxidant treatment can attenuate oxidative damage from LDL. The aim of this study was to establish whether the ox-LDL induced by in vitro incubation can be inhibited by two well-known natural antioxidants, quercetin and ganhuangenin. In our study, oxidation was quantitatively assessed in the presence and absence of these antioxidants by measuring lipid oxidation products and lipid peroxide generation. When non-oxidized, native LDL was incubated in the presence of 20 mM Cu 2 , LDL modifications were found to proceed in a time-dependent manner. Our results further showed both quercetin and ganhuangenin inhibited the oxidative modification of LDL, as evidenced by the reduced thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxides (PCOOH) production, and ox-LDL fluorescence intensity. Based on these data, we concluded that both quercetin and ganhuangenin have the ability to effectively suppress in vitro LDL oxidation, thereby providing additional evidence for their potential beneficial use as antiatherogenic agents.

## Abstract A simple method for the detection of oxysterols in oxidatively modified LDL (Ox‐LDL) has been developed using MALDI‐TOF MS. To identify the ion peaks of oxysterols, seven major oxysterols in Ox‐LDL (7α‐hydroxycholesterol, 7β‐hydroxycholesterol, 7‐ketocholesterol, 5α,6α‐epoxycholesterol,

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is known as a protective factor against atherosclerosis. However, whether HDL-apolipoproteins (apo-HDL) contribute to the protection in arterial cells remains unclear. The localization patterns of human apolipoproteins in atherosclerotic arteries were determined using

Human pregnancy zone protein (PZP) is a major pregnancy-associated plasma protein closely related to human alpha(2)-macroglobulin (alpha(2)M). It has been demonstrated that monoamine-activated forms of human and rat alpha(2)M and rat alpha(1)M can bind to TrkA and, respectively, inhibit and stimulat
