HDL-cholesterolLDL-cholesterolFrom 108 healthy 13 years old school children who took part on a longitudinal study in regard to serum lipids and lipoproteins 64 with normal body weight were examined. Lipoproteins were estimated by means of preparative ultracentrifuge and polyanionprecipitation (Heparin ...
Not all cholesterol is bad. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is considered "good" cholesterol because it actually works to keep the LDL, or "bad" cholesterol from building up in your arteries. The higher the HDL, the better. HDL levels of 60 mg/dL and higher can help reduce you...
In most studies 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, it was concluded from multivariate analysis that included age, body mass index, blood pressure, cigarette smoking, and high density lipoprotein (HDL) and LDL cholesterol levels that lipoprotein(a) is an ...
HDL has the ability to remove the cholesterol from macrophage foam cells through reverse cholesterol transport, the main anti-atherogenic mechanism. Lipids that form the atherosclerotic lesion come mainly from low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and several studies proposed oxidative modification of...
Higher proportion of LDL IVB in maternal plasma before delivery was an independent predictor of smaller birth weights and lengths, while higher proportions of LDL IVB and HDL 2a subclasses were independent determinants of newborns' smaller head circumferences. Routine gestational and prenatal care in ...
In patients requiring blood lipid monitoring, it may be concluded that if TC, LDL, HDL and TG levels are acceptable in one blood sample, this is sufficient to monitor TC levels. If TC levels remain acceptable, there is no need to analyse LDL, HDL and TG levels more than every second ...
LDL size was significantly lower in diabetics than controls (25.1±l.5 nm vs. 25.8±2.1 nm, p<0.05). Diabetics show significantly higher TG (187.8±90.8 mg/dl vs. 145.6±69.7 mg/dl, p<0.01) and lower HDL-C (47.5±12.9 mg/dl vs. 57.1±14.3 mg/dl, p<0.05). Based on the ...
Changes in LDL size and HDL concentration in normal and preeclamptic pregnancies. Atheroscle- rosis 2002;162(2):425-32.Belo L, Caslake M, Gaffney D, Santos-Silva A, Pereira L, Quintanilha A, et al. Changes in LDL size and HDL concentration in normal and preeclamptic pregnancies. ...
for normal HDL, HDL taken from patients with coronary artery disease, who show normal blood lipid levels, and were neither diabetic nor taking hypolipidemic medications, did not protect LDL against oxidation by human artery wall cells and failed to inhibit the biological activity of oxidized PAPC....
Macrophages take up oxidized-LDL, and its increased cellular concentration activates LXRs, which induce the efflux of intracellular cholesterols from macrophages to serum apolipoproteins in the form of HDL, which then returns to the liver in a process termed reverse cholesterol transport. This process...
