Circulating malondialdehyde-modified LDL and atherogenic lipoprotein profiles measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in patients with coronary artery disease

The high concentrations of circulating MDA-LDL derived from the atherogenic lipoprotein profiles, which induce the exaggerated production of small dense LDL. The circulating MDA-LDL may impair endothelial function and play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
