The marked inverse association between HDL cholesterol and stroke seen in hypertensives emphasizes the importance of those modifiable risk factors for stroke known to lower the concentrations of HDL cholesterol. 展开 关键词: cholesterol lipoproteins, HDL cholesterol stroke ...
LDL Cholesterol: 'Bad' Cholesterol Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, is the type that tends to deposit on the walls of the arteries. White blood cells combine with the LDL cholesterol, forming artery-narrowing plaque, which restricts blood flow....
HDL is usually requested with other tests, either with cholesterol or as part of a lipid profile, including LDL and triglycerides. The combination of total cholesterol and HDL is very useful for screening for the risk of heart disease.
Plasma concentrations of cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and levonorgestrel were determined in two groups of women using levonorgestrel-releasing subdermal implants. One group used six capsules (NORPLANT R) ; the other six covered rods. Plasma concentrations of levonorgestrel among NORPLANT R users averaged...
recently discontinued its billion-dollar investment and phase III clinical trial of their new high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good cholesterol" boosting drug torceptrapib because of unexpected life-threatening side effects. To provide an objective discussion with patients looking for the next ...
We measured levels of total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A-I (A-I) and A-II (A-II) in 371 boys and 354 girls ranging in age from 6 to 14 years. Level of TC began to decrease from age 10 and remained low level during the period of junior high schoo...
Results are presented here on the relationship, in a large city in the Federal Republic of Germany, between HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) or the HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio (HDL-C/TC) and the variables smoking, alcohol consumption, Body Mass Index (BMI), and age. The strength of eac...
