In pH 6.8 Na2 HPO4-NaH2PO4 buffer solution and in presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG), apolipoprotein AI (ApoAI) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) would combine with their corresponding antibody and produced immune complex particles in size of about 180 nm and 140 nm respectively, which exhibit stronger resonance scattering (RS) effect at 340 nm and 470 nm. The influence of pH, antisera volume, PEG concentration, incubation time and co-exists substances was considered. Under the optimal conditions, the RS intensity is proportional to the concentrations of ApoAI and ApoB when their concentration is in the range of 8.4-430.0 ng x mL(-1) and 14.8-590.0 ng x mL(-1), respectively. The detection limits (DL) are 6.2 ng x mL(-1) for ApoAI and 7.0 ng x mL(-1) for ApoB. The method was successfully applied to determination of ApoAI and ApoB in human serum samples, with satisfactory results.

Mass spectrometry lipidomics is becoming customary to analyse serum/plasma samples in epidemiology. The measurables are molecular constituents of lipoprotein particles, but very little is known on the consequences of adjusting lipidomics data with lipoprotein measures. We studied two population cohorts with 5,657 and 2,036 participants.

Background And Aim: In view of the favorable effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on the lipid profile in postmenopausal women, and the discrepancies that exist on the effect of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on lipoprotein concentrations and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, we conducted this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) to assess the efficacy of MPA on apolipoprotein and lipoprotein(a) concentrations in healthy postmenopausal women.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases, including for English-language papers published up to September 2023 comparing the effect of MPA on ApoA-I, Apo-AII, and Lp(a) levels with those of a control group. A meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model, reporting the results as the weighted mean difference (WMD) with a 95 % confidence interval (CI).

Introduction: Several studies indicated the ameliorating effects of raloxifene supplementation on apolipoproteins and blood pressure, although others have conflicting findings. Therefore, the present study was conducted in order to accurately and definitively understands the effect of raloxifene on apolipoprotein AI (Apo-AI), apolipoprotein B (APoB), lipoprotein (a) (Lp (a)), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in postmenopausal women.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using scientific databases including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science and the Cochrane Library, through May 2024.

Background And Aim: Tamoxifen has been used in the management of breast cancer. The available evidence on the effect of tamoxifen on lipoprotein(a) and apolipoproteins is controversial. Hence, this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to increase the quality of evidence on the effect of tamoxifen on lipoprotein(a) and apolipoproteins.

Background And Aim: Although various randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated the effect of raloxifene on apolipoproteins and lipoprotein(a) concentrations in postmenopausal women, the results have been inconsistent and inconclusive. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis of RCTs to investigate the effect of raloxifene administration on apolipoproteins and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations in postmenopausal women.
Methods: Two independent researchers systematically searched the scientific literature (including PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE) for English-language randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to June 2024.
