High HDL-cholesterol in women with rheumatoid arthritis on low-dose glucocorticoid therapy. Eur J Clin Invest. 2008, 38(9), 686-692 pp.C. Garcia-Gomez, J.M. Nolla, J. Valverde, et al., High HDL-cholesterol in women with rheumatoid arthritis on low-dose glucocorticoid therapy, Eur. J....
Women/AFAB: Less than 50 mg/dL In general, low levels of HDL can contribute to having a higher level of LDL. That's because HDL cholesterol helps your body get rid of LDL -- the "bad" cholesterol. It moves LDL away from arteries and toward the liver, which eliminates the LDL from ...
D. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol subfractions HDL2 and HDL3 are reduced in women with rheumatoid arthritis and may augment the cardi- ovascular risk of women with RA: a cross-sectional study. Arthritis Res. Ther. 14:R116; 2012....
High free cholesterol levels indicate an unhealthy balance between HDL (good cholesterol) versus LDL (bad cholesterol). The researchers say their paper backs up prior studies that foundcholesterol levels impact semen qualityand increase risk for fertility-related problems in women, such as polycystic...
24 The other Danish study reported 31% of women and 11% of men had HDL-C levels of 77 mg/dL or greater.9 These data may imply reduced survival of this subgroup of patients with CAD and very high HDL-C levels.A sex interaction with men having greater mortality risk was noted in the...
HDL (high density lipoprotein) is considered the "good" cholesterol because it may help decrease the cholesterol buildup in the walls of arteries that causes narrowing of their openings. HDL (high density lipoprotein) Less than 40 mg/dL (men), less than 50 mg/dL (women): increased risk of...
In conclusion, we found that having an HPV16/18 infection and not sexual behavior was the most significant risk factor for high grade cervical disease in young Japanese women. These infections can be prevented by a highly effective vaccine and we recommend that the Japanese government resume ...
Studies have consistently linked high triglyceride levels to heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke, especially in people with low levels of "good" HDL cholesterol and those withtype 2 diabetes. So if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other things that make you more likely to gethea...
This is related to the fact that HDL-C levels are influenced by many different variables that also affect CVD risk: 1) Men have on average lower HDL-C levels than women (8). 2) Smokers have 14% lower HDL-C levels than nonsmokers, and this relationship appears to be dose-dependent, ...
The high incidence of atherosclerosis in women after menopause is associated with a risk pattern including an increase in low density lipoprotein (LDL), even though high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels tend to be maintained or slightly decreased. Since estrogens are considered potent ...
