2005; Shah, Kaul, Nilsson, & Cercek, 2001). HDL’s antioxidant properties inhibit the oxidation of LDL. Oxidized cholesterol is associated with increased damage to the endothelium and continues to be investigated as a risk factors in CAD (Libby, 2002; Norata ...
HDL size distribution could be considered as a surrogate of the intravascular metabolism of these lipoproteins and their quantitation is a potential alternative to be considered in CAD risk evaluation; however, prospective studies are needed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of HDL subclasses.

The steroids in general, especially those produced in large amounts, progesterone and DHEA, are important parts of the antioxidant defenses. Cholesterol, either that produced internally by the cell, or taken in from the blood stream, is the precursor for all the steroids in the body. Several ...
Also, several studies have shown that foods with a high glycemic index reduce the levels of HDL cholesterol and raise LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Another interesting fact is that the low-carbohydrate diets increase the size of small, dense LDL particles, making them large and fluffy particle...

Lipoproteins are large, complex mixtures of cholesterol, cholesteryl esters, phospholipids, triglycerides (fats), and various proteins. The major lipoproteins include chylomicrons, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Total plasma cholesterol ...
Emerging evidence suggests that osteoarthritis is associated with high cholesterol levels in some osteoarthritis patients. However, the specific mechanism under this metabolic osteoarthritis phenotype remains unclear. We find that cholesterol metabolism-
especially LDL-C. In contrast, when blood high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels rise, the heart attack frequency was reduced.20,21,22Moreover, the beneficial effects of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and the negative effects of LDL-C on heart diseases were further confirmed by the Framingham Heart...
