Abstract
Under some pathological conditions, the natural dicarbonyl compounds can accumulate in the blood. The examples are malonyldialdehyde (MDA) formed as a secondary product of lipid peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids during atherosclerosis, and glyoxal (GOX), a homolog of MDA, which accumulates during glucose autoxidation in patients with diabetes mellitus. This study compared the influence of both dicarbonyl compounds on low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and the membrane of endotheliocytes. In comparison with GOX, MDA induced more pronounced changes in physical and chemical properties of LDL particles. On the other hand, GOX-modified LDL particles were more prone to oxidation and aggregation than MDA-modified LDL. Incubation of endotheliocytes with MDA increased cell mechanical stiffness in contrast to incubation with GOX, which decreased it.Entities:
