Four indicators are most commonly used to determine the reliability of a clinical laboratory test. Two of these, accuracy precision, reflect how well the test method performs day to day in a laboratory. The other two, sensitivity specificity, deal with how well the test is able to distinguish ...
Doing this simple math will give us the amount of cholesterol carried withinall atherogenic lipoproteins. In other words, a measure of cholesterol carried by all the “bad” lipoproteins but not the “good” ones (which is only HDL). This fraction is termed non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C)....
Further, cholesterol metabolism could influence EATA: Raggi et al. found in a recent work that one year of cholesterol-lowering therapy reduced EATA, an effect not seen in subcutaneous adipose tissue32. It is known that an increase in metabolically active brown adipose tissue can increase EATA26...

A significant main effect of group and interaction effect of group by time in the plasma risk factors including the total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and homocysteine (Hcy) was not observ...
Model 5: additionally adjusted for body mass index, smoking status, physical activity, Mediterranean diet score, use of antihypertensive and lipid-modifying drugs, fasting triglycerides, and total-to-HDL cholesterol levels Full size image Higher IGP was statistically significantly associated with lower ...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is currently a major public health challenge in young, middle aged and elderly population worldwide, but it is still not clear in very elderly population. This study was to investigate the potential association between total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol...
