On the other hand, smoking reduces levels of HDL cholesterol, while quitting smoking leads to a rise in the plasma HDL level. Very high levels of HDL cholesterol have been reported to be atherogenic. The mechanism of this paradoxical effect is not entirely clear.Sadhna, Sodani...
Atlanta, US, said: "It may be time to change the way we view HDL cholesterol. Traditionally, physicians have told their patients that the higher your 'good' cholesterol, the better. However, the results from this study and others suggest that this may no longer be the case." ...
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels are a strong inverse predictor of cardiovascular events. However, it is not clear whether this association is maintained at very low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.#A post hoc analysis of the recently completed Treating to New ...
Although the Chinese MetS criteria are mainly different from the IDF criteria in WC and HDL cholesterol cut-off points, the prevalence of abdominal obesity, hypercholesterolaemia and hypertriglyceridemia in this very elderly women population are higher than that of young and middle aged women, which...
Mean (SD) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level at baseline was 43.1 (11.1) mg/dL, increasing to 49.0 (12.6) mg/dL, an increase of 14.7% (P<.001). The mean (SD) change in PAV for the entire vessel was −0.98% (3.15%), with a median of −0.79% (97.5% CI, ...

The fate of cholesteryl esters in high density lipoprotein (HDL) was studied to determine whether the transfer of esterified cholesterol from HDL to other plasma lipoproteins occurred to a significant extent in man. HDL cholesteryl ester, labelled in vitro with [ 3H] cholesterol, was injected into...
Background Low serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are an important risk factor for atherosclerotic disease. To date, therapeutically raising HDL-C has not been shown to impact risk for cardiovascular events. Objective We aim to characterize lipid parameters at the extremes...
