Monocyte/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, neutrophil/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and lymphocyte/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratios as new inflammatory markers in rosacea

Turkderm Turkish Archives of Dermatology and Venereology, 2023
Background and Design: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. The monocyte/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio (MHR), neutrophil/HDL cholesterol ratio (NHR), and lymphocyte/HDL cholesterol ratio (LHR) are new inflammatory parameters

Impaired High‐Density Lipoprotein Function in Patients With Heart Failure

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background We recently showed that, in patients with heart failure, lower high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration was a strong predictor of death or hospitalization for heart failure.

Cholesterol efflux by acute-phase high density lipoprotein: role of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
HDL plays an initial role in reverse cholesterol transport by mediating cholesterol removal from cells. During infection and inflammation, several changes in HDL composition occur that may affect the function of HDL; therefore, we determined the ability ...

Higher non-HDL-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio linked with increased nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2018
Background Non-HDL-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol (non-HDL-c/HDL-c) ratio is a feasible predictor for coronary heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance.

Cholesterol Efflux Capacity and Cardiovascular Disease: The Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) Study

Biomedicines, 2020
(1) Background and Aims: Efforts to reduce coronary artery disease (CAD) by raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) have not been uniformly successful.

Lack of Correlation of Plasma HDL With Fecal Cholesterol and Plasma Cholesterol Efflux Capacity Suggests Importance of HDL Functionality in Attenuation of Atherosclerosis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
A number of clinical findings suggested HDL-raising as a plausible approach to treat residual risk of CVD. However, lack of CVD risk reduction by elevated HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) through cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibition and enhanced ...

Loci controlling plasma non-HDL and HDL cholesterol levels in a C57BL /6J × CASA /Rk intercross

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Plasma non-HDL and HDL cholesterol levels are predictors of cardiovascular diseases. We carried out a genetic cross between two laboratory inbred mouse strains, C57BL/6J and CASA/Rk, to detect loci that control the plasma levels of non-HDL and HDL ...
