Abstract excerpt
Epidemiologic studies have shown an inverse relationship between human serum albumin (HSA) levels and coronary heart disease (CHD). However, no mechanisms have been identified to explain this relationship. We hypothesized that this relationship is due to differences in binding affinity of fatty acids to HSA and subsequent atherogenic lipoprotein synthesis and secretion from hepatocytes. To test our hypothesis we...
