Abstract excerpt
5-Hydroxy-2-aminovaleric acid (HAVA) has been suggested to be a specific marker of oxidation of apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 proline (Pro) and arginine (Arg) side-chain residues in low density lipoprotein (LDL) in vitro. Here we describe the application of sensitive mass spectrometric techniques to the characterization of Pro/Arg-modified apoB-100 in LDL(1) (S(f) 7 to 12) and LDL(2) (S(f) 0 to 7) in vivo. We...
