Non-HDL cholesterol: into the spotlight.
The elevated coronary heart disease (CHD) risk affecting patients with type 2 diabetes may be attributed to a combined dyslipidemia characterized by elevated triglycerides, reduced HDL cholesterol, small dense LDL particles (independent of the LDL cholesterol level), elevated triglyceride-rich remnant lipoproteins (TGRLs), and/or elevated apolipoprotein B (apoB) levels (1). All of these feature...
متن کاملNiacin, but not gemfibrozil, selectively increases LP-AI, a cardioprotective subfraction of HDL, in patients with low HDL cholesterol.
Evidence indicates that the high density lipoprotein (HDL) subfraction containing apolipoprotein A-I without apolipoprotein AII (LP-AI) is more antiatherogenic than HDL particles containing apolipoprotein A-I and apolipoprotein A-II (LP-AI+AII). This study examined the effect of extended-release niacin (niacin-ER) and gemfibrozil on LP-AI and LP-AI+AII particles in patients with low levels of H...

15 صفحه اولGenetics of increased HDL cholesterol levels: insights into the relationship between HDL metabolism and atherosclerosis.
Astrong inverse association exists between plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and incidence of coronary artery disease.1 Although environmental factors play a role, variation in HDL-C levels are at least 50% genetically determined.2 The genetics of syndromes of very low HDL-C have been extensively studied. Mutations in apoA-I (the major HDL structural protein), ABCA1 (which promotes efflux o...
متن کاملAntiinflammatory Properties of HDL Genetics of Variation in HDl Cholesterol in Humans and Mice New Insights Into the Regulation of HDL Metabolism and Reverse Cholesterol Transport Endothelial and Antithrombotic Effects of HDL
Plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations are genetically determined to a great extent, and quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis has been used to identify chromosomal regions containing genes regulating HDL-C levels. We discuss new genes found to participate in HDL metabolism. We also summarize 37 mouse and 30 human QTLs for plasma HDL-C levels, finding that all but ...
