LDL-cholesterol-lowering effect of plant sterols and stanols across different dose ranges: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled studies

British Journal of Nutrition, 2014
Phytosterols (PS, comprising plant sterols and plant stanols) have been proven to lower LDL-cholesterol concentrations. The dose–response relationship for this effect has been evaluated in several meta-analyses by calculating averages for different dose ...

LDL-cholesterol signaling induces breast cancer proliferation and invasion

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2014
Lipids and cholesterol in particular, have long been associated with breast cancer (BC) onset and progression. However, the causative effects of elevated lipid levels and breast cancer remain largely undisclosed and were the subject of the present study ...

Effects of lowering LDL cholesterol on progression of kidney disease.

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2014
Lowering LDL cholesterol reduces the risk of developing atherosclerotic events in CKD, but the effects of such treatment on progression of kidney disease remain uncertain.

Pharmacogenetic meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of LDL cholesterol response to statins

Nature Communications, 2014
Statins effectively lower LDL cholesterol levels in large studies and the observed interindividual response variability may be partially explained by genetic variation.

Validation of a proposed novel equation for estimating LDL cholesterol.

Clinical Chemistry, 2014
BACKGROUND Aggressive LDL cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering strategies are recommended for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. A newly derived equation for LDL-C estimation was recently published that addressed limitations in the ...

FoxO3 Transcription Factor and Sirt6 Deacetylase Regulate Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol Homeostasis via Control of the Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 (Pcsk9) Gene Expression*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Background: PCSK9 is critical for LDL-cholesterol regulation, but the epigenetic regulation of the PCSK9 gene is not clear. Results: FoxO3 and Sirt6 suppress the PCSK9 gene expression and reduce LDL-cholesterol.
