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...
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...
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 ...
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, ...

Dietary cholesterol, high levels of fat and saturated fat in the habitual diet reduced the rate of release of triacylglycerol to plasma in the fasted monkey. We also determined the changes in protein and lipid concentrations of the different lipoprotein fractions. The injection of Triton WR-1339 ...
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." ...
Cholesteryl ester-rich beta-very low density lipoproteins (beta-VLDL) are beta-migrating lipoproteins that accumulate in the plasma of cholesterol-fed animals and of patients with type III hyperlipoproteinemia. There are two distinct fractions: fraction I beta-VLDL are chylomicron remnants of intestina...
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...
