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...
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...
one of which involves 12-LO and each of which can be inhibited by normal HDL, and b) HDL from at least some coronary artery disease patients with normal blood lipid levels is defective both in its ability to prevent LDL oxidation by artery wall cells and in its ability to inhibit the bi...
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 ...
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 <...

The linear correlation and multiple stepwise regression analysis of lipids and apolipoproteins in plasma, HDL, LDL and VLDL of 20 normal subjects and 20 patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia was made. The result of simple factor analysis showed that there was a positive correlation of TG and...
Although pravastatin did not significantly influence median apolipoprotein(a) levels, it significantly reduced mean cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels and increased mean HDL cholesterol levels compared with placebo (p < 0.001); the maximal pravastatin effect was reached 3 to 4 weeks ...
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...
