Age-related decrease of dehydroepiandrosterone concentrations in low density lipoproteins and its role in the susceptibility of low density lipoproteins to lipid peroxidation
The incidence of atherosclerosis and related diseases increases with age. The aging process may enhance lipoprotein modification, which leads to an increase in the susceptibility of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) to oxidation. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), the most...
