High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Statin Trials

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2008
Epidemiological studies show that high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are inversely related to the risk of vascular events. Statins are the most widely prescribed drugs for the treatment of dyslipidaemias and their use for the prevention of vascular events is evidence based. Statins raise HDL-C but this effect seems to vary considerably

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol

Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 2015
We provide a historical perspective of how high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol became a clinical standard, the evidence in favor of HDL function as a more appropriate indication of HDL's antiatherogenic nature, and the options ahead.Recent studies have demonstrated a strong relationship between the cholesterol efflux capacity of plasma and ...

Incorporation of cholesterol into high density lipoprotein recombinants

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1978
Abstract Apo-A-1, the principal apoprotein of high density lipoprotein, was incubated with cholesterol containing liposomes of dimyristoyl lecithin, lecithin from high density lipoprotein or sphingomyelin. Conditions were chosen to give 100% conversion of cholesterol-free liposomes into recombinants which were isolated by density gradient ...

High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the Japanese

Atherosclerosis, 1980
Abstract High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels were measured in Japanese and Western residents in Japan with the heparin—MnCl 2 precipitation method. The mean HDL cholesterol level (± SD) in healthy Japanese was 56 ± 16 mg/dl for men and 61 ± 15 mg/dl for women.

Seasonal variation in high density lipoprotein cholesterol

Atherosclerosis, 1993
We investigated the seasonal variation in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) in 142 dyslipidemic (non-HDL-cholesterol > or = 5.2 mmol/l) middle-aged men in the placebo group of the Helsinki Heart Study over the 5-year trial period. A seasonal pattern was found in HDL fluctuation, with a 4.5% drop during mid-winter (5-year mean 1.192 +/- 0.265 ...

Effect of Low-Dose Niacin on High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Total Cholesterol/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1988
Niacin significantly alters blood lipid concentrations but its use has been limited because of clinically disturbing side effects. In an attempt to circumvent these drawbacks, 55 patients with cardiovascular disease were given low-dose long-acting niacin, 1 g/d.

The Effects of Diet on High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, 1980
Twenty-nine patients with normal blood lipids were placed on diets. Thirteen, mainly attending hospital for varicose veins, were prescribed low-energy diets: HDL-cholesterol was raised after one month and significantly after three months (P less than 0.02); total cholesterol was lowered (P less than 0.05).

High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol as the Holy Grail

JAMA, 2011
FOR MORE THAN 3 DECADES, SINCE HIGH LEVELS OF HIGHdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were first linked to a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, the notion of raising HDL-C levels has been regarded as a potentially ideal treatment to prevent cardiovascular disease.

“Isolated” Low High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 1997
OBJECTIVE: To present information on the function, structure, and importance of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and to evaluate the current literature regarding the controversy of managing patients with an “isolated” low HDL-C concentration ...
