Literature summary for 2.3.1.43 extracted from
- Plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity is elevated in metabolic syndrome and is an independent marker of increased carotid artery intima media thickness (2008), J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab., 93, 4860-4866.
Application
| Application | Comment | Organism |
|---|---|---|
| medicine | carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) is greater and plasma LCAT activity is higher in subjects with metabolic syndromes compared to control. Similar increases in IMT and LCAT are found in MetS subjects without type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, plasma LCAT activity is independently and positively related to insulin resistance, plasma triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. LCAT activity may be a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis | Homo sapiens |
