Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) has been the focus of managing lipoprotein disorders for decades. It is now time to consider a change. Both apolipoprotein B (apoB) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) have been shown to be more accurate markers of cardiovascular ris...
Lp(a) is a highly atherogenic lipoprotein particle that can be found in high concentrations in the blood of individuals with genetic variants. Studies have shown a strong causal effect of Lp(a) on various cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease and aortic valve stenosis. Despite...
The well recognized ability of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, sometimes called good cholesterol, to protect against the risk of developing of cardiovascular disease requires an explanation. Such an explanation may be the role that HDL plays in the process of reverse cholesterol transport ...
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 ...
Baseline Predictors of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Systolic Blood Pressure Goal Attainment After 1 Year in the ISCHEMIA Trial BACKGROUND:Risk factor control is the cornerstone of managing stable ischemic heart disease but is often not achieved. Predictors of risk factor control in... JD ...
aExercising daily promotes weight loss, better posture, probable prevention from osteoporosis, lowers blood pressure, prevention against acquired diabetes mellitus, increased coronary efficiency, increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol. It is also a great stress, anxiety, depression...
Elevated lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, particularly in individuals with elevated lowdensity- lipoprotein cholesterol. Candidates for lipoprotein(a) screening include patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, those with personal or family history of premature cardiovas...
What foods/vitamins are high in rhodopsin? In reverse cholesterol transport, the lipoprotein which picks up cholesterol from the extra-hepatic tissues and transports it back to the liver is ___. a) HDL b) LDL c) Chylomicron d) VLDL Which lipoprotein transports dietary fat o...
When milk and dairy products were not allowed, the serum cholesterol concentration tended to decrease in high density lipoprotein (HDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), the triglyceride concentration tended to increase in HDL and low density lipoprotein (LDL), the phospholipid concentration sh...
We were somewhat surprised that Sumner et al1 evaluated the ability of plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration and/or the plasma TG/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration ratio to identify insulin resistance in 98 overweight and obese African Americans. We originally validated this...
