Structure-function relationships of HDL in diabetes and coronary heart disease.
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) contain hundreds of lipid species and proteins and exert many potentially vasoprotective and anti-diabetogenic activities on cells.

Relation of hyperlipidemia in serum and loss of high density lipoproteins in urine in the nephrotic syndrome [PDF]
The mechanism leading to hyperlipidemia in the nephrotic syndrome is not fully understood but may be related in part to loss of high density lipoproteins in the urine of patients with nephrosis.

Effects of exercise on HDL functionality
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.

HDL Cholesterol Story Is Dead: Long Live HDL! [PDF]
It is a great irony that the earliest discovered lipoprotein is also the least well understood. In 1929, Michel Machebouef at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, using salt precipitation techniques, isolated a lipoprotein particle from horse serum composed predominantly of an α-globulin (59%), which we now know to be high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (1 ...

Lipid levels are inversely associated with infectious and all-cause mortality: international MONDO study results. [PDF]
Cardiovascular (CV) events are increased 36-fold in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, randomized controlled trials to lower LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and serum total cholesterol (TC) have not shown significant mortality improvements.

Decades of epidemiologic studies have firmly established the inverse relationship between HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and cardiovascular events.[1][1] However, the resulting hypothesis that raising HDL-C levels should reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been called into question by ...

Soluble levels of receptor for advanced glycation endproducts and dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus: ACTG NWCS332. [PDF]
The role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) function and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in HIV-related atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unclear.
