Impaired High‐Density Lipoprotein Function in Patients With Heart Failure
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.

Background HDL is endowed with several metabolic, vascular, and immunoinflammatory protective functions. Among them, a key property is to promote reverse cholesterol transport from cells back to the liver.

Cholesterol Efflux Capacity, Carotid Atherosclerosis, and Cerebrovascular Symptomatology [PDF]
Objective— To investigate the association of cholesterol efflux capacity with carotid atherosclerosis and cerebrovascular disease. Approach and Results— Patients with high-grade carotid stenosis (n=154) were recruited from Vascular Surgery clinics and 9 healthy ...

Tweaking the cholesterol efflux capacity of reconstituted HDL [PDF]
Mechanisms to increase plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or to promote egress of cholesterol from cholesterol-loaded cells (e.g., foam cells from atherosclerotic lesions) remain an important target to regress heart disease. Reconstituted HDL (rHDL) serves as a valuable vehicle to promote cellular cholesterol efflux in vitro and in vivo.

Cholesterol efflux capacity associates strongly and negatively with the incidence and prevalence of human CVD. We investigated the relationships of HDL's size and protein cargo with its cholesterol efflux capacity using APOB-depleted serum and HDLs ...

BackgroundAnimal and human studies indicate that ABCA1‐mediated cholesterol transport is important in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We hypothesized that the efficiency of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to facilitate ABCA1‐mediated cholesterol efflux would be ...

Effect of a novel nutraceutical combination on serum lipoprotein functional profile and circulating PCSK9 [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A beneficial effect on cardiovascular risk may be obtained by improving lipid-related serum lipoprotein functions such as high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and serum cholesterol loading capacity (CLC) and by ...

Elevated Lipoprotein(a) Levels Lower ABCA1 Cholesterol Efflux Capacity [PDF]
AbstractContextElevated serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels are associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux from macrophages may be an antiatherogenic process. Plasminogen (PLG) is a driver of ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux, and its action is inhibited by purified human Lp(a).ObjectiveTo determine the ...
