You’ve probably heard it is important to keep your cholesterol levels low, but if you want to protect yourself against heart disease you may be barking up the wrong tree. Total cholesterol is actually a fairly poor predictor of heart disease, and LDL “bad” cholesterol is only slightly bet...
Associations of obesity markers, insulin, and sex hormones with HDL-cholesterol levels in Turkish and German individuals. Atherosclerosis. 1999;145:147-156.Hergenc, G.; Schulte, H.; Assmann, G,; vonEckardstein, A. Associations of obesity markers, insulin, and sex hormones with HDL-cholesterol...
In this regard, non-HDL cholesterol might outperform LDL-c as a lipid marker of cardiovascular risk, in particular in patients with atherogenic dyslipidemia.54 Recently, however, LDL-c, even at normal levels, was found to be independently associated with the presence and extent of early systemic...
However, as just explained, there is good and bad cholesterol, which makes efficient joint evaluation of them. Currently the total level is less valued than the individual levels of HDL and LDL. See these examples: Patient 1 - LDL 150, HDL 20 and VLDL 20 = total cholesterol of 190 ...

The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which common genetic variants can explain the variation of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) plasma levels in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). FH is characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and premature...
No differences were found in HDL cholesterol (HDL-c) or LDL-c levels. Interestingly, a positive correlation between the amount of sHDL-p and sLDL-p levels in RRMS patients with a low BMI (r = 0.5, P = 0.05) was observed, and the LP-IR of these patients ...
Moreover, to our surprise, serum HDL levels were significantly reduced in the PARP-2−/− mice. This unexpected finding is likely explained by the decreased expression of ABCA1 transport protein that is essential in transferring cholesterol to apolipoprotein A1 in the liver and the intestine [...
HDL steroids are dominated by cholesterol (5–10 wt% of lipid; Table 1), reflecting the key role of HDL in cholesterol transport through the circulation. Other sterols are present in HDL at much lower levels as exemplified by minor amounts of oxysterols (27-hydroxycholesterol, 24-hydroxycholest...
alpha-lipoprotein,HDL,high-density lipoprotein- a lipoprotein that transports cholesterol in the blood; composed of a high proportion of protein and relatively little cholesterol; high levels are thought to be associated with decreased risk of coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis ...
