Rare variant in scavenger receptor BI raises HDL cholesterol and increases risk of coronary heart disease

Science, 2016
A scavenger that protects the heart Coronary heart disease is a tale of two forms of plasma cholesterol. In contrast to the well-established effects of “bad” cholesterol (LDL-C), the role of “good” cholesterol (HDL-C) is mysterious.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) in Macrophages Predominate Over Proinflammatory Effects in Atherosclerotic Plaques.

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2019
OBJECTIVE HDL (high-density lipoprotein) infusion reduces atherosclerosis in animal models and is being evaluated as a treatment in humans. Studies have shown either anti- or proinflammatory effects of HDL in macrophages, and there is no consensus on the

A Comparative Study between HLS and HDL on SoC for Image Processing Applications [PDF]

, 2020
The increasing complexity in today's systems and the limited market times demand new development tools for FPGA. Currently, in addition to traditional hardware description languages (HDLs), there are high-level synthesis (HLS) tools that increase the abstraction level in system development.

Unraveling liquid polymorphism in silicon driven out-of-equilibrium [PDF]

J. Chem. Phys. 153, 054502 (2020), 2020
Using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations, we study the properties of supercooled liquids of Si under shear at T=1060K over a range of densities encompassing the low-density liquid (LDL) and high-density liquid (HDL) forms. This enables us to generate nonequilibrium steady-states of the LDL and HDL polymorphs, that remain stabilized in

Effects of exercise on HDL functionality

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2019
Purpose of review Low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease risk and can be improved with regular exercise. However, raising HDL-C levels pharmacologically has not shown convincing clinical benefits.

U-shaped relationship of HDL and risk of infectious disease: two prospective population-based cohort studies

European Heart Journal, 2018
Aims Preclinical evidence has indicated that HDL may play an important role in the immune system; however, very little is known about the role of HDL in the immune system in humans.

Review of Laboratory Methods to Determine HDL and LDL Subclasses and Their Clinical Importance

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Given the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease, accurate identification of methods for assessing lipoprotein subclasses, mainly low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions, can play an essential role in predicting ...
