The High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Hypothesis Revisited
BACKGROUND: The strong inverse association of plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with coronary heart disease (CHD) found in human epidemiological studies led to the development of the ‘HDL-C hypothesis’, which posits that ...

Deep-coverage whole genome sequences and blood lipids among 16,324 individuals. [PDF]
Large-scale deep-coverage whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is now feasible and offers potential advantages for locus discovery. We perform WGS in 16,324 participants from four ancestries at mean depth >29X and analyze genotypes with four quantitative ...

Coronary artery endothelial dysfunction is positively correlated with low density lipoprotein and inversely correlated with high density lipoprotein subclass particles measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The association between cholesterol and endothelial dysfunction remains controversial. We tested the hypothesis that lipoprotein subclasses are associated with coronary endothelial dysfunction.

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 ...

Relation of hyperlipidemia in serum and loss of high density lipoproteins in urine in the nephrotic syndrome [PDF]
The mechanism leading to hyperlipidemia in the nephrotic syndrome is not fully understood but may be related in part to loss of high density lipoproteins in the urine of patients with nephrosis.

Peculiarities of Lipid Metabolism in Children with Metabolic Syndrome
Peculiarities of blood lipids in children with metabolic syndrome were studied. We observed 139 children aged 9 to 18 years, who formed two groups: 1st group — 85 children with metabolic syndrome on the background of abdominal obesity, 2nd group — 54 ...

Background The discordance of the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratio with alterative lipid parameters may explain the inconsistent association of CIMT with the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio.

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.
