Changes in the Plasma Lipid Profile as a Potential Predictor of Clinical Outcome in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever [PDF]
In 50 consecutive children admitted to the intensive care unit with the clinical diagnosis of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (grade III or IV), 20 patients with mild DHF (grade I or II), and 20 healthy control patients, the plasma ...

Effects of dalcetrapib in patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome [PDF]
In observational analyses, higher levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol have been associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease events.

Alternations of Lipoprotein Profiles in the Plasma as Biomarkers of Huntington’s Disease
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 ...

High Density Lipoproteins and Diabetes
Epidemiological studies have established that a high plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level is associated with reduced cardiovascular risk. However, recent randomised clinical trials of interventions that increase HDL-C levels have failed to establish a causal basis for this relationship.

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol: How High
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.

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 ...

High-Density Lipoprotein and Heart Failure
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.

The reduction of cardiovascular mortality associated with moderate alcohol consumption is chiefly thought to be mediated by an increase of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-CH).

Maturation of high-density lipoproteins
Human high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are involved in the transport of cholesterol. The mechanism by which HDL assembles and functions is not well understood owing to a lack of structural information on circulating spherical HDL. Here, we report a series of molecular dynamics simulations that describe the maturation of discoidal HDL into spherical HDL

Prevention of low density lipoprotein aggregation by high density lipoprotein or apolipoprotein A-I.
We have shown previously that low density lipoprotein (LDL) subjected to vortexing forms self-aggregates that are avidly phagocytosed by macrophages. That phagocytic uptake is mediated by the LDL receptor.
