Reference intervals for serum total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol in Batswana adults. [PDF]

open access: yesSouth African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 2011
Reference intervals of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol concentrations were determined on 309 blood donors from an urban and peri-urban population of Botswana. Using non-parametric methods to establish 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the distribution, the intervals were: total cholesterol 2.16 - 5.52 mmol/l; non-HDL ...

The effect of oligomeric procyanidins on endothelial function and cholesterol homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
PhDOligomeric procyanidins (OPC) are naturally occurring dietary substances, which studies suggest can protect against cardiovascular disease. To explore this further a double-blind randomised controlled crossover trial, EPICURE (Evaluation of high ...

Arginine-directed glycation and decreased HDL plasma concentration and functionality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background/Objectives: Decreased plasma concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is a risk factor linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Decreased anti-atherogenic properties of HDL are also implicated in increased

Large-Scale Candidate Gene Analysis of HDL Particle Features [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) is an established marker of cardiovascular risk with significant genetic determination. However, HDL particles are not homogenous, and refined HDL phenotyping may improve insight into regulation of HDL metabolism.

Effect of animal and industrial trans fatty acids on HDL and LDL cholesterol levels in humans - a quantitative review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Trans fatty acids are produced either by industrial hydrogenation or by biohydrogenation in the rumens of cows and sheep. Industrial trans fatty acids lower HDL cholesterol, raise LDL cholesterol, and increase the risk of coronary heart ...

The Plasma Distribution of Non-cholesterol Sterol Precursors and Products of Cholesterol Synthesis and Phytosterols Depend on HDL Concentration

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Non-cholesterol sterols are transported in plasma lipoproteins and are consequently important in cholesterol metabolism. We investigated the distribution of non-cholesterol sterol precursors of cholesterol synthesis (NCSPCS), oxysterols, and phytosterols

The cholesterol-raising diterpenes from coffee beans increase serum lipid transfer protein activity levels in humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Cafestol and kahweol–diterpenes present in unfiltered coffee— strongly raise serum VLDL and LDL cholesterol and slightly reduce HDL cholesterol in humans. The mechanism of action is unknown.

HDL and cholesterol handling in the brain [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2014
Cholesterol is an essential component of both the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system (CNS) of mammals. Brain cholesterol is synthesized in situ by astrocytes and oligodendrocytes and is almost completely isolated from other pools of cholesterol in the body, but a small fraction can be taken up from the circulation as 27 ...
