December 2023
Thermodiffusion, or Soret effect, is the physical phenomenon of matter gradients originated by the migration of chemical species induced by thermal gradients. Thermodiffusion has been widely applied in the study of colloidal suspensions. In this study, we investigate the termodiffusion behavior of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, by the Soret coefficient measurement.

- This study investigates how different combinations of antiplatelet and lipid-lowering therapies affect the quality of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles in patients who have experienced an acute myocardial infarction.
- Patients were randomized to receive specific treatments and monitored for six months using various scientific techniques to analyze LDL properties.
- Results showed that ticagrelor combined with either simvastatin/ezetimibe or rosuvastatin led to better LDL quality, with enhanced size and lower oxidation in the particles, indicating a potentially improved cardiovascular profile for these treatment combinations.
