Oxidized high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein in adolescents with obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease

Pediatr Obes. 2024 Dec 16:e13194. doi: 10.1111/ijpo.13194. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is increasingly common in the pediatric population and may increase risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in people with MASLD. Oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) are modified, pro-atherosclerotic lipoproteins that are increased in adults with MASLD and CVD but have not been reported in adolescents with MASLD.
