Studies employing analysis of LDL subclasses have demonstrated heterogeneity of the LDL response to low fat, high carbohydrate diets in healthy nonobese subjects. In individuals with a genetically influenced atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype, characterized by a predominance of small dense LDL (LDL subclass pattern B), lowering of plasma LDL cholesterol levels by diets with #24% fat has been fou...
متن کاملContribution of the hepatic lipase gene to the atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype in familial combined hyperlipidemia.
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is a common genetic lipid disorder with a frequency of 1-2% in the population. In addition to the hypercholesterolemia and/or hypertriglyceridemia that affected individuals exhibit, small, dense LDL particles and decreased HDL-cholesterol levels are traits frequently associated with FCH. Recently, we reported that families with FCH and families enriched fo...
متن کاملFluvastatin lowers atherogenic dense low-density lipoproteins in postmenopausal women with the atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype.
BACKGROUND Although HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (HMGRIs) are effective lipid-lowering agents, it remains controversial whether these agents also lower dense LDL (dLDL), a predominance of which is considered to contribute to the atherogenicity of the metabolic syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS In a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, we determined the effect of the HM...
متن کاملatherogenic diet
We studied the effect of propranolol on the diet-induced coronary artery atherosclerosis (CAA) in 30 adult male cynomolgus monkeys living in social groupings of five animals each. Animals in the "treated" segment (n = 15) consumed propranolol, which was mixed into an atherogenic diet. Animals in the "untreated" group (n = 15) consumed only the atherogenic diet. Finally, the social groupings wer...
متن کاملAtherogenic lipoprotein particles in atherosclerosis.
The importance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the development of atherosclerosis has long been recognized, and LDL cholesterol remains the primary target of therapy for the prevention of coronary heart disease. Nevertheless, increasing research attention over the past decade has been devoted to the heterogeneity of LDL particles and the atherogenicity of lipids and lipoproteins...
