[Characteristics of the structural organization of lipoproteins in the blood plasma of patients with ischemic heart disease using the spin probe method].

Structural properties of lipoprotein organization in blood plasma of the patients with ischemic heart disease have been studied by means of electronic paramagnetic resonance method, using a derivate of stearic acid (5-doxylsteararte) as a spin probe. Significant differences in the patterns of thermo-induced structural reorganizations of all the lipoprotein types in normal and pathological states were shown. However, these differences were not found in the lipids isolated from the lipoproteins. In high density lipoproteins HDL2 and HDL3 from blood plasma of the patients with ischemic heart disease a decrease in the micro-environment polarity was shown to take place at the depth of 8 A from the lipoprotein surface. The data obtained suggest the distinct changes in structural organization of all the lipoprotein types in heart ischemic disease, which appear to occur as a result of modification of apoproteins and/or protein-lipid interactions in lipoproteins.
