Total cholesterol and mortality in peritoneal dialysis: a retrospective cohort study
Background Total cholesterol is inversely associated with mortality in dialysis patients, which seems implausible in real-world clinical practice. May there be an optimal range of total cholesterol associated with a lower mortality risk?

Dual HDL/total Cholesterol Test: A Single-Tube, Homogeneous Assay for Sequential Measurement of HDL Cholesterol and Total Cholesterol [PDF]
The quantitation of cholesterol in lipoprotein subfractions is valuable in estimating the risk for coronary artery disease, but requires multiple tests. We describe a relatively simple procedure, referred to as the dual HDL/total cholesterol (DHT) assay, which allows the sequential measurement of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and total cholesterol (total-C)

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 ...

Effects of Diet Composition and Insulin Resistance Status on Plasma Lipid Levels in a Weight Loss Intervention in Women. [PDF]
BackgroundOptimal macronutrient distribution of weight loss diets has not been established. The distribution of energy from carbohydrate and fat has been observed to promote differential plasma lipid responses in previous weight loss studies, and insulin

Pasta consumption and connected dietary habits: Associations with glucose control, adiposity measures, and cardiovascular risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes—TOSCA.IT study [PDF]
Background: Pasta is a refined carbohydrate with a low glycemic index. Whether pasta shares the metabolic advantages of other low glycemic index foods has not really been investigated. The aim of this study is to document, in people with type-2 diabetes,
