Causal relevance of blood lipid fractions in the development of carotid atherosclerosis: Mendelian randomization analysis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), a subclinical measure of atherosclerosis, is associated with risk of coronary heart disease events. Statins reduce progression of CIMT and coronary heart disease risk in proportion to the reduction in ...

Determinants of HDL Cholesterol Efflux Capacity after Virgin Olive Oil Ingestion: Interrelationships with Fluidity of HDL Monolayer [PDF]
Scope: Cholesterol efflux capacity of HDL (CEC) is inversely associated with cardiovascular risk. HDL composition, fluidity, oxidation, and size are related with CEC.

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 ...

Differential Effects of Lipid-lowering Drugs in Modulating Morphology of Cholesterol Particles. [PDF]
Treatment of dyslipidemia patients with lipid-lowering drugs leads to a significant reduction in low-density lipoproteins (LDL) level and a low to moderate level of increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in plasma.

Raising HDL cholesterol in women
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration is essential in the determination of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in women. This is especially true in the postmenopausal state, where lipid profiles and CHD risk mimic that of age-matched men.

The triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein ratio identifies children who may be at risk of developing cardiometabolic disease [PDF]
Aim: It is important to develop simple, reliable methods to identify high-risk individuals who may benefit from intervention. This study investigated the association between the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL) ratio and ...

Higher non-HDL-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio linked with increased nonalcoholic steatohepatitis [PDF]
Non-HDL-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol (non-HDL-c/HDL-c) ratio is a feasible predictor for coronary heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance. Patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular problems and type 2 diabetes.

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 ...
