Metrics of High-Density Lipoprotein Function and Hospital Mortality in Acute Heart Failure Patients. [PDF]
ObjectiveThe functionality of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is impaired in chronic ischaemic heart failure (HF). However, the relationship between HDL functionality and outcomes in acute HF (AHF) has not been studied.

Inflammatory remodeling of the HDL proteome impairs cholesterol efflux capacity[S] [PDF]
Recent studies demonstrate that HDL's ability to promote cholesterol efflux from macrophages associates strongly with cardioprotection in humans independently of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and apoA-I, HDL's major protein. However, the mechanisms that impair

Serum Cholesterol Efflux Capacity in Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy [PDF]
Purpose: To investigate serum cholesterol efflux capacity (the ability of the serum to accept cholesterol) and factors that regulate it using nuclear magnetic resonance-quantified measures of lipoprotein particle composition and size and apolipoproteins ...

Uremia alters HDL composition and cholesterol efflux capacity [PDF]
Results We identified a significant increase in the amount of acute-phase protein serum amyloid A1, albumin, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, and apoC-III composing uremic HDL. Furthermore, uremic HDL contained reduced phospholipids and increased triglycerides and lysophospholipids. With regard to function, these changes impaired the ability of

Antiatherosclerotic Effects of CSL112 Mediated by Enhanced Cholesterol Efflux Capacity. [PDF]
Approximately 12% of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) experience a recurrent major adverse cardiovascular event within 1 year of their primary event, with most occurring within the first 90 days. Thus, there is a need for new therapeutic approaches that address this 90‐day post‐AMI high‐risk period.

Molecular Patterns of Extreme and Persistent Cholesterol Efflux Capacity. [PDF]
Objective: Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), the ability of extracellular acceptors to pick-up cholesterol from macrophages, is a clinically relevant cardiovascular biomarker. CEC is inversely associated with incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events.

ApoCIII enrichment in HDL impairs HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity [PDF]
Apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) has been reported to be tightly associated with triglyceride metabolism and the susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD). Besides, apoCIII has also been found to affect the anti-apoptotic effects of HDL.

Effect of bariatric surgery on HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity. [PDF]
BackgroundBariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective intervention for severe obesity, leading to sustained weight loss, reduced obesity-related comorbidities, and cardiovascular mortality.AimTo assess changes in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functions [cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and anti-inflammatory capacity] at different follow-up times in ...

Development and validation of novel automatable assay for cholesterol efflux capacity. [PDF]
Abstract During the past decade, evaluation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality has been well studied for predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) is the strongest candidate as the biomarker out of various HDL antiatherosclerotic functions.
