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...
A cholesterol test will measure the total cholesterol in your blood, and your total cholesterol levels are made up of a combination of your LDL, HDL, and VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein, another "bad" cholesterol) levels. A total cholesterol score of 200 mg/dL or lower is considered opt...
During gestation LDL size significantly decreased (P < 0.001), due to reduction in relative proportion of LDL I (P < 0.01) and increase of LDL II (P < 0.001) and IIIA (P < 0.05) subclasses. In the same time, HDL size and proportions of HDL 2a particles significantly decreased (P <...
We identified onehaplotype 2-1-2-2-1 (freq. 34.7%) which showed lower total- and LDL-cholesterol comparedwith the most common haplotype 1-1-1-1-2 (freq. 45.7%) (Ps ≤0.001). The explainedpercentages of variance in the two cholesterol levels by PRKAA2 haplotypes were 0.78% and0.75% ...
Methods A longitudinal cohort design was adopted in this study; 9767 non-obese subjects without NAFLD were included and analyzed. The subjects were grouped according to the quintile of LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio. The cumulative incidence of NAFLD and the independent effect of the LDL/HDL cholesterol...

LDL HDL mildly oxidized LDL MM-LDL oxidized phospholipids HPODE HPETE cholesteryl linoleate hydroperoxide paraoxonase atherosclerosis antioxidant HDL and its major apolipoprotein, apoA-I, are known to remove cholesterol and phospholipids from cells (1, 2, 3, 4). Stocker and colleagues (5) have report...
LDL-cholesterol was calculated using the Friedewald equation (Krishnaveni & Gowda, 2015). Glucose and lipid profile levels (triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol) in serum were determined by internationally standardized methods at the clinical laboratory of the Department of Medical Sciences ...
