The Plasma Distribution of Non-cholesterol Sterol Precursors and Products of Cholesterol Synthesis and Phytosterols Depend on HDL Concentration

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Non-cholesterol sterols are transported in plasma lipoproteins and are consequently important in cholesterol metabolism. We investigated the distribution of non-cholesterol sterol precursors of cholesterol synthesis (NCSPCS), oxysterols, and phytosterols

Causal Models with Constraints [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Causal models have proven extremely useful in offering formal representations of causal relationships between a set of variables. Yet in many situations, there are non-causal relationships among variables. For example, we may want variables $LDL$, $HDL$, and $TOT$ that represent the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, the level of lipoprotein

Paradoxical mortality differential of HDL cholesterol

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol has been known for ages to be cardio-protective due to its defensive action against genesis of atherosclerosis.

Apolipoprotein M promotes cholesterol uptake and efflux from mouse macrophages

FEBS Open Bio, 2021
Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) exhibits various anti‐atherosclerotic functions as a component of high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR‐BI) is a classic HDL receptor that mediates selective cholesterol uptake and ...

The High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Hypothesis Revisited

Indonesian Biomedical Journal, 2018
BACKGROUND: The strong inverse association of plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with coronary heart disease (CHD) found in human epidemiological studies led to the development of the ‘HDL-C hypothesis’, which posits that ...

Morphological and Biochemical Adaptive Changes Associated With A Short-period Starvation of Adult Male Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica) [PDF]

Asian Journal of Poultry Science, 2016, 10: 165-74, 2016
Background The morphological and biochemical impact of a short-period of starvation on Japanese quail was investigated. Materials and methods Ten adult male Japanese quail were divided into two groups; control fed and starved. The control-fed group was offered food and water ad libitum and the starved group was subjected to a short-period of food ...

Cellular cholesterol efflux mediated by HDL isolated from subjects with low HDL levels and coronary artery disease

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2003
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to verify whether HDL particles isolated from patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and low HDL-C had diminished ability to promote cholesterol efflux from cultured cells compared with HDL isolated from subjects

Independent association of atherogenic dyslipidaemia with all‐cause mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes and modifying effect of gender: a prospective cohort study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2021
Background Atherogenic dyslipidaemia has been implicated in the residual risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, which remains despite attainment of LDL cholesterol goals especially in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio and monocyte/HDL cholesterol ratio are related with subclinical hypothyroidism in polycystic ovary syndrome

Türk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2021
There is an association between serum thyrotropin (TSH) and lipid profile. However, there is a little information regarding the relation between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), atherogenic indices and inflammation in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS ...
