So, cLDL has become the major target for cardiovascular prevention. Howewer, we have progressive evidences about the role of triglycerides rich lipoproteins, particularly those very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) in promotion and progression of atherosclerosis, that leads cholesterol in VLDL and its ...
consists of the combination of an increase in very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), which results in increased plasma triglyceride (TG) levels, with a reduction of levels of high-density lipoprotein bound cholesterol (HDL-C), also accompanied by a high proportion of small and dense LDL particles...
In humans, practically all HDL cholesterol esters reach the liver after being transferred to very low (VLDL)- and low (LDL)-density lipoproteins by the cholesteryl ester transfer protein and subsequent uptake by the LDL receptor. However, HDL can deliver free cholesterol directly to the liver ...
We detected a constant systematic error in the direct LDL cholesterol test versus Freidewald calculation and, using statistical methods, we concluded that this constant systematic error is due to the fact that the Olympus reagent measures, nonspecifically, VLDL cholesterol. We believe that users of ...
