The article presents information on high-density lipoproteins (HDL). It states that HDL contain lipids, cholesterol and proteins called apolipoproteins. It describes how HDL transport cholesterol from low-density lipoproteins (LDL). The mechanism of action of two kinds of medications to raise HDL, ...
Since the very first report showing the regression of established atherosclerotic lesions by means of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) plasma fraction, much information has been generated about the protective role of HDL-C in atherosclerosis. Nonetheless, this positive point of view about ...
HDL cholesterol in the range of 20-40 (0.5-1.0 mmol/L) may appear in isolation but is often associated with high triglyceride concentration, insulin resistance and increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, some drugs, such as beta-blockers may lower HDL cholesterol. Anabolic steroids can...

The body’s so-called good cholesterol maybe even better than we realize. New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that one type of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) has a previously unknown role in protecting the liver from injury. This HDL protects the li...
