Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze changes in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) composition and platelet activities in obese patients compared to controls, focusing on membrane fluidity and cation transport.
- Significant findings included higher cholesterol and triglyceride levels in LDL from obese individuals, leading to functional changes in platelet ATPase activities and increased membrane rigidity (anisotropy).
- The results suggest that obesity affects both lipoprotein and platelet functions, potentially contributing to the higher risk of cardiovascular issues and early atherosclerosis in obese patients.
