RESULTS: The HDL cholesterol level in patients receiving statins was predictive of major cardiovascular events across the TNT study cohort, both when HDL cholesterol was considered as a continuous variable and when subjects were stratified according to quintiles of HDL cholesterol level. When the ...

Although all in the normal range (15–28 ng/ml), values were higher than would be expected with ovariectomy and there was no difference in plasma progesterone values between the progesterone-implanted rats and the other groups in this study. We believe that the progesterone values obtained here...
The mice were fed high-fat chow that contained 20% fat and 1.25% cholesterol. The mice were randomly divided into three groups (n = 12/group). The control group was given normal chow. The high-fat chow-fed mice were given vehicle (0.3 ml phosphate-buffered saline/day) or ...
The rationale for identifying new pathways for LDL transit is predicated on the observations that (1) the uptake, transport and retention of sub-endothelial LDL particles can occur in an LDLR independent manner and contribute to the initiation of atherosclerosis1,2; (2) hypercholesterolemic levels...
