Measurement of the plasma lipid profile, mainly low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), is widely used in the management of hospitalized patients as part of their cardiometabolic risk assessment. In common practice, LDL-C is calculated indirectly by the Friedewald equation. For many years, fas...

Serum levels of homocysteine, leptin, fibrinogen, CRP, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and ESR were measured and body mass index (BMI) were calculated before and after treatment of hyperthyroidism.Results: ...
HDL-C and LDL-C cannot be considered surprising, it is noteworthy that cortisol levels positively associated with seven features and also showed a general overrepresentation of statistically significant findings. It has been shown that cortisol levels are chronically mildly elevated in elite athletes, ...
These two lipid-lowering therapies were chosen to promote similar changes in the classic lipid profile, allowing the comparison of the more effective inhibition of cholesterol synthesis (rosuvastatin) with the combined mechanisms of LDL-C lowering (inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and inhibition of ...
18,19 The HDL-C level was determined after precipitation of apolipoprotein B–containing lipoproteins, with the use of dextran sulfate–magnesium chloride with a molecular weight of 50 000 (Sigma Diagnostics).20 The LDL-C level was calculated according to the Friedewald equation.21 If triglyceride...
Increasing cost of therapy with statins per 1% reduction in the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level as dosage is titrated beyond the typical starting dosage. L indicates lovastatin; P, pravastatin sodium; S, simvastatin; A, atorvastatin calcium; and F, fluvastatin sodium. Reprinted ...
A complete plasmalipid profile(total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, and triglycerides) should be measured in all adults 20 years of age and older. It is reasonable to assess traditionalatherosclerotic cardiovascular disease(ASCVD) risk factors every 4 to 6 years in adults 20 to 79 years of age ...
Furthermore, channels were deeper and with a higher aspect ratio, resulting in a more homogeneous velocity profile across the channel height, reducing surface effects in close proximity to the top and bottom walls of the channels. In this study, authors investigated the effect of total flow rate...
