Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

This year the OSCTR is starting a research training program.

Translating Practice into Research (TPIR), for healthcare professionals, clinical investigators, and basic scientists funded by the NIH Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources grant. The goal of the TPIR trainee program is to produce a group of clinicians and scientists who have the ability to translate their clinical observations and ideas for improving practice into practical and feasible research projects. Attached is a detailed description.

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.
