There are six major types of lipoproteins; chylomicrons,very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL),low-density lipoprotein (LDL),high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and Lp(a) Lp(a) was first described by Kåre Berg, a Norwegian professor, in 1963 (1). It is ...
Elevated cholesterol levels may result in a diagnosis ofhyperlipidemia. This condition is characterized by high blood levels of cholesterol and/or triglycerides. High cholesterol is the most common form of hyperlipidemia, but the term also encompasses hypertriglyceridemia — a condition in which triglyceri...

Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Statins have been the cornerstone of lipid therapy to lower LDL-C for the past two decades, but despite significant clinical efficacy in a majority of patients, a ...

Elevated low-density lipoprotein in Alzheimer's disease correlates with brain abeta 1-42 levels. Sera obtained in the immediate postmortem from 100 individuals, 64 neuropathologically diagnosed Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases and 36 nondemented controls, were analyzed for cholesterol, lipoproteins, ...
In a consensus statement from 2008 on lipoprotein management in patients with cardiometabolic risk, the American College of Cardiology and the American Diabetes Association recommended more prominent roles of apoB and LDL-P as target of therapy Some patients with low LDL-C may have elevated LDL-P...
Other medications that lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and might be substituted for statins, may not improve morbidity and mortality. 关键词: Humans Liver Diseases Alanine Transaminase Aspartate Aminotransferases Anticholesteremic Agents Liver Function Tests Attitude of Health Personnel United States ...
Elevated levels of LDL cholesterol have been strongly associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. It is thought by many experts that when LDL cholesterol levels are too high, the LDL lipoprotein tends to stick to the lining of the blood vessels, which helps to stimulateatheros...
