High-density lipoprotein is a nanoparticle, but not all nanoparticles are high-density lipoprotein [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a natural nanoparticle that transports cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver and also transports other lipids, proteins, enzymes, and microRNAs. HDL–cholesterol levels are negatively correlated with the risk of cardiovascular events.

Lipids and Lipoproteins in Health and Disease: Focus on Targeting Atherosclerosis
Biomedicines, 2021 Despite advances in pharmacotherapy, intervention devices and techniques, residual cardiovascular risks still cause a large burden on public health. Whilst most guidelines encourage achieving target levels of specific lipids and lipoproteins to reduce ...

Primary genetic disorders affecting high density lipoprotein (HDL)
Drugs in Context, 2018 There is extensive evidence demonstrating that there is a clear inverse correlation between plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2023 Background High-density lipoprotein cholesterol’s (HDL-C) long-held status as a cardiovascular disease (CVD) preventative has been called into question. Most of the evidence, however, focused on either the risk of death from CVD, or on single time point ...

Heart India, 2019 Background: Patients are treated with statins for the control of cholesterol; but statins control only low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and not non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL). Also, LDL is not a good coronary risk predictor.

Alternations of Lipoprotein Profiles in the Plasma as Biomarkers of Huntington’s Disease
Cells, 2023 Alterations in lipid composition and disturbed lipoprotein metabolism are involved in the pathomechanism of Huntington’s disease (HD). Here, we measured 112 lipoprotein subfractions and components in the plasma of 20 normal controls, 24 symptomatic ...

Dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein [PDF]
Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 2009 To address the progress of the investigation on dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein (HDL).HDL is generally considered to be an independent protective factor against cardiovascular disease. However, emerging evidence indicates that HDL can be modified under certain circumstances and lose its protective effect or even become atherogenic.

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol: How High
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2012 The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is considered anti-atherogenic good cholesterol. It is involved in reverse transport of lipids. Epidemiological studies have found inverse relationship of HDL-C and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk.

High-Density Lipoprotein and Heart Failure
Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 The protective effect of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) on atherosclerosis is well known, and its mechanisms of action has been extensively studied. However, the impact of HDL on heart failure and its mechanisms are still controversial or unknown.

High-Density Lipoproteins in Stroke [PDF]
, 2014 Besides their well-documented function of reverse transport of cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) display pleiotropic effects due to their antioxidant, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties that may play a major protective role in acute stroke, in particular by limiting the deleterious effects of ischaemia on the ...
