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...
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 ...
Results The mean (SD) baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level of 130.4 (34.3) mg/dL declined to 60.8 (20.0) mg/dL, a mean reduction of 53.2% (P<.001). Mean (SD) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level at baseline was 43.1 (11.1) mg/dL, increasing to...
presence of one or two copies of the AT haplotype appears to be protective from high Lp(a) levels, even in patients with very high Lp(a) levels. On the other hand, no differences were seen between genotypes and haplotypes for total, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein A1...
Despite that, in our study, both groups had high LDL cholesterol levels for patients with very high risk, extending the treatment goal. The relationship between uric acid and dyslipidemia is especially interesting because the long uninterrupted treatment with statins was found to decrease the risk ...
HDL: high-density lipoprotein; CM: chylomicron; VLDL: very low-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; LCAT: lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase; LPL: lipoprotein lipase; apoE: apoplipoprotein E. IDLs can be detected in lipoprotein disorders. Whentriglyceridein a particle ofVLDLis degraded...
Understanding the effects of a ketogenic diet on major plasma lipid fractions (HDL, LDL, triglycerides) and LDL particle size is important in assessing the possible impact of the diet on macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes. We will measure triglycerides and fractionated cholesterol using ...

oxidized LDL cholesterol statin very low-density lipoprotein VLDL References in periodicals archive ? There are five major lipoproteins in blood: chylomicrons; very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL); intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL); low-density lipoprotein (LDL); and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)...
The exceptions were: fasting plasma glucose, no effect of gestation and no interaction with obese/lean status; ALT, no effect of lean/obese status or gestational age/gestation+postpartum visit; GGT, no effect of gestation; HDL-cholesterol, insulin and HOMA%B, no interaction with obese/lean ...
