The secondary oxidation of biologically modified low-density lipoproteins (LDL) was demonstrated to contribute to the cytotoxicity and thereby to the atherogenicity of modified lipoproteins. Previously we have shown that chemical modification of LDL by carbon disulfide (CS(2)) mimicked the naturally occurring process of LDL modification. In the present study the cytotoxicity of CS(2)-modified LDL and their susceptibility to the secondary oxidative modification was investigated. The cytotoxicity of CS(2)-modified LDL did not significantly exceed that of native LDL. However, the Cu(2+) -oxidized form of CS(2)-modified LDL revealed to be more cytotoxic than oxidized native LDL. Oxidized CS(2)-modified LDL presented with altered physicochemical properties including derivatization of protein amino and - SH groups, increased negative charge, and electrophoretic mobility which exceeded that of oxidized native LDL. The secondary oxidative modification of CS(2)-modified LDL involved the process of Cu(2+) binding to CS(2)-derived dithiocarbamate -SH groups followed by covalent modification of - SH groups by products of lipid peroxidation. Taken together, these finding suggest that secondary oxidation of CS(2)-modified LDL may contribute to the atherogenic effect of the chronic occupational exposure to CS(2).

Background: Some cancers have been found to require abundant supplies of lipids for their development. One example is prostate cancer (PCa). To date, lipid-modifying factors, such as proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), angiopoietin-like 3 protein (ANGPTL3), and lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a), have not been reported in men with PCa.

Objective: Caveolae are closely linked to the onset and progression of atherosclerosis. The pivotal involvement of caveolin-1 (CAV1) within the caveolae in atherosclerosis development has been consistently supported. However, the potential contributions of additional caveolae proteins to atherosclerosis necessitate further exploration.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the preventive effect of walnut oil as medicinal food on abnormal lipid metabolism and its influence on liver metabolites and intestinal flora.

Methods: The rat model of abnormal lipid metabolism was established by feeding high-fat diet and administering a high-fat emulsion via gavage. The rats were randomly assigned to one of the five groups: the normal group (ND), the model group (HFD), and three walnut oil intervention groups differing in dosage [low-dose (OL, 2.
