The Structure of Cholesterol in Lipid Rafts [PDF]

Physical Review Letters 113, 228101 (2014), 2014
Rafts, or functional domains, are transient nano- or mesoscopic structures in the plasma membrane and are thought to be essential for many cellular processes such as signal transduction, adhesion, trafficking and lipid/protein sorting. Observations of these membrane heterogeneities have proven challenging, as they are thought to be both small and short-

Differences in physical activity time-use composition associated with cardiometabolic risks [PDF]

, 2019
This study investigates the association between the overall physical activity composition of the day (sedentary behavior (SB), light intensity physical activity (LIPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)) and cardiometabolic health, and ...

Serum total cholesterol: HDL cholesterol ratios in US white and black adults by selected demographic and socioeconomic variables (HANES II).

American Journal of Public Health, 1991
BACKGROUND Framingham Study findings suggest that total cholesterol (TC):High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio is a useful summary of the joint contribution of TC and HDL-C to coronary heart disease (CHD) risk.

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

The High Prevalence of Low HDL-Cholesterol Levels and Dyslipidemia in Rural Populations in Northwestern China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Dyslipidemia is a major health problem in China and an important modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of dyslipidemia and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) and ...

The importance of HDL-C and CRP in cardiovascular risk evaluation in longevous elderly individuals [PDF]

Einstein (São Paulo), 2011
The association between total mortality, lipoproteinS, and inflammatory markers, and their implications with aging and longevity are often controversial.

Oxysterols in Vascular Cells and Role in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Implication of Oxysterols and Phytosterols in Aging and Human Diseases, 1440, Springer International Publishing, pp.213-229, 2024, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology
Atherosclerosis is a major cardiovascular complication of diseases associated with elevated oxidative stress such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In these situations, low density lipoproteins (LDL) undergo oxidation. Oxidized LDL display proatherogenic activities through multiple and complex mechanisms which lead to dysfunctions of vascular ...

Lipid levels are inversely associated with infectious and all-cause mortality: international MONDO study results. [PDF]

, 2018
Cardiovascular (CV) events are increased 36-fold in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, randomized controlled trials to lower LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and serum total cholesterol (TC) have not shown significant mortality improvements.

Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholestrol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratios are predictors of cardiovascular risk in Iranian adults: Evidence from a population-based cross-sectional study

Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020
Background: The superiority of TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios in predicting  CVD risk is a matter of debates. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare TG/HDL-C and LDL-C to HDL-C ratios in predicting the risk of CVD events.

Subjects with low plasma HDL cholesterol levels are characterized by an inflammatory and oxidative phenotype. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Epidemiological studies have shown that low plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but the mechanisms for the possible atheroprotective effects of HDL cholesterol have ...
