Effect of almond skin polyphenolics and quercetin on human LDL and apolipoprotein B-100 oxidation and conformation
Almond skin polyphenolics (ASP) and vitamin C (VC) or E (VE) inhibit the Cu(2+)-induced generation of conjugated dienes in human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in a synergistic manner. However; the mechanism(s) by which this synergy occurs is unknown. As modification of apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 is an early; critical step in LDL oxidation; we examined the effects […]

A daily supplement of nuts (providing half of the total fat intake) was provided against a common background diet. In the first 3-wk period the background diet was […]
