Lowering LDL Cholesterol [PDF]

Circulation, 1999
Abstract —The benefit of cholesterol-lowering therapy in the prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) is well established. The secondary prevention Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (4S) and the primary prevention West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS) demonstrated that lipid lowering with a statin can ...

Cholesterol absorption and synthesis related to low density lipoprotein metabolism during varying cholesterol intake in men with different apoE phenotypes.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1992
The aim of the present study was, first, to investigate whether cholesterol (C) absorption, enhanced by cholesterol feeding, was related to synthesis of cholesterol, serum level of low density lipoprotein (LDL)-C, and receptor activity for LDL ...

Effects of dietary cholesterol and fatty acids on plasma cholesterol level and hepatic lipoprotein metabolism.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1990
The effects of dietary cholesterol and fatty acids on the plasma cholesterol level and rates of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol secretion and low density lipoprotein (LDL) transport through LDL receptors in the liver of the hamster were ...

Existing and emerging therapies for the treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia

Journal of Lipid Research, 2021
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an autosomal dominant disorder of LDL metabolism that is characterized by elevated LDL-cholesterol, is commonly encountered in patients with atherosclerotic coronary heart disease.

Differences in the metabolism of oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein and acetylated low density lipoprotein by human endothelial cells: inhibition of cholesterol esterification by oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
The rate of degradation of oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) by human endothelial cells was similar to that of unmodified low density lipoprotein (LDL), and was approximately 2-fold greater than the rate of degradation of acetylated ...

Cholesterol delivered to macrophages by oxidized low density lipoprotein is sequestered in lysosomes and fails to efflux normally

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been found to exhibit numerous potentially atherogenic properties, including transformation of macrophages to foam cells.

Association between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and sudden cardiac arrest in people with diabetes mellitus

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2023
Background Dyslipidemia measured as low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol is an established risk factor of cardiovascular disease, which is more pronounced in diabetes population.

LDL particle size and LDL and HDL cholesterol changes with dietary fat and cholesterol in healthy subjects

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
We have conducted a dietary trial in 54 men and 51 women with a wide range of fasting cholesterol values to examine the use of low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size to predict the lipoprotein response to dietary fat and cholesterol.

Cholesterol deposition in macrophages: foam cell formation mediated by cholesterol-enriched oxidized low density lipoprotein.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
Oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL) is thought to mediate the transformation of macrophages to cholesterol-rich foam cells. Yet convincing evidence for this process is lacking in vitro.
