Karamé I. (Ed.) Hydrogenation

InTeOp, 2012. - 336 p. ISBN: 9535107859 9789535107859This volume will help new investigators in the field to get acquainted with the general topic of lipoprotein research and will guide scientists interested in this area to an emerging new fields.Plasma lipoproteins are spherical particles consisting of lipid droplets that are surrounded by specific apolipoproteins (apo-Lp). There exist approximately 15 distinct apo-Lp that are responsible for the metabolism of lipoproteins. Apo-Lp stabilize the integrity of lipoproteins, function as mediators of enzyme activity and are ligands for specific cell surface receptors.
Under physiological conditions, plasma lipoproteins are responsible for delivering dietary lipids to various organs. Circulating lipoproteins on the other hand are prone to modifications such as oxidation or glycation.
Such modified lipoproteins are responsible for the development of numerous diseases including atherosclerosis, myocaridial infarction, stroke and neurodegenerative disorders.Section 1 Hydrogenation Reactions in Fine Organic Chemistry
