Cholesterol efflux capacity, macrophage reverse cholesterol transport and cardioprotective HDL [PDF]
Randomized clinical trials provide strong evidence that pharmacological elevation of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) fails to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in statin-treated humans. It is thus critical to identify new metrics that capture HDL's cardioprotective effects.We review recent evidence that HDL's cholesterol efflux capacity is a strong ...

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 ...

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 ...

Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) may affect macrophage reverse cholesterol transport (mRCT) through its role in the metabolism of HDL. Ex vivo cholesterol efflux capacity and in vivo mRCT were assessed in PLTP deletion and PLTP overexpression mice ...

Effect of Anacetrapib on Cholesterol Efflux Capacity: A Substudy of the DEFINE Trial. [PDF]
Background Anacetrapib is the only cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitor proven to reduce coronary heart disease (CHD). However, its effects on reverse cholesterol transport have not been fully elucidated. Macrophage cholesterol efflux (CEC), the initial step of reverse cholesterol transport, is inversely associated with

HDL cholesterol efflux capacity and lipid profile in patients with systemic sclerosis. [PDF]
Abstract Objective. It is well established that patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) have a disrupted lipid profile and an increased cardiovascular risk. Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), the ability of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol to accept cholesterol from macrophages has been linked to cardiovascular events.
