Effect of apolipoprotein E phenotype on diet-induced lowering of plasma low density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) has recommended that dietary total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol intake be reduced to < or = 30% of calories, < 10% of calories, and < 300 mg/day, respectively (Step 1 diet) in the general ...

Association between LDL-cholesterol lowering genetic variants and risk of type 2 diabetes

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2016
Importance Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol-lowering alleles in or near NPC1L1 or HMGCR, encoding the respective molecular targets of ezetimibe and statins, have previously been used as proxies to study the efficacy of these lipid-lowering drugs.

Rates of low density lipoprotein uptake and cholesterol synthesis are regulated independently in the liver.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1985
The relationship between rates of hepatic sterol synthesis and rates of hepatic low density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake (clearance) was studied in animals with high (rats), low (female hamsters), and very low (male hamsters) basal rates of hepatic sterol ...

Reducing saturated fat intake is associated with increased levels of LDL receptors on mononuclear cells in healthy men and women

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
Studies with animal models suggest that saturated fatty acids raise low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels by reducing LDL receptor-mediated clearance. To examine this directly in humans, we studied the effects of lowering dietary saturated fat

Remnant cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and apoB absolute mass changes explain results of the PROMINENT trial

Atherosclerosis
The PROMINENT trial, a cardiovascular outcome trial of the triglyceride- and remnant cholesterol-lowering agent pemafibrate, has shown neutral results despite reduction in plasma triglycerides and remnant cholesterol. We tested the hypothesis that absolute mass changes in remnant cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B explain the results of

Evaluation of five methods for determining low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in hemodialysis patients(1).

Clinical biochemistry, 2001
Current recommendations for the management of dyslipidemia are largely based on the concentration of LDL-C. Most clinical laboratories estimate the concentration of LDL-C by the recommended routine method, the equation of Friedewald, in specimens from fasting subjects and with TG concentrations < 4.52 mmol/L.

Association of Serum LDL Cholesterol Level with Periodontitis among Patients Visiting a Tertiary-care Hospital

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2011
Introduction: High low-density lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In recent years, some evidence has been presented that periodontitis,an infectious inflammatory condition of the periodontium, is ...

High-capacity selective uptake of cholesteryl ester from native LDL during macrophage foam cell formation

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
Macrophage foam cells are a defining pathologic feature of atherosclerotic lesions. Recent studies have demonstrated that at high concentrations associated with hypercholesterolemia, native LDL induces macrophage lipid accumulation.

Multi-biobank Mendelian randomization analyses identify opposing pathways in plasma low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol lowering and gallstone disease

European Journal of Epidemiology
Plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol is positively associated with coronary artery disease risk while biliary cholesterol promotes gallstone formation.
