High-Density Lipoprotein Function
Although high-density lipoproteins (HDL) possess many features that contribute to the association between elevated HDL cholesterol and protection from atherosclerosis, these lipoproteins may be modified in certain individuals and/or circumstances to become proinflammatory. The ability of HDL to inhibit or paradoxically to enhance vascular inflammation, lipid oxidation, plaque growth, and thromb...
متن کاملThe role of level and function of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) in Cardiovascular Diseases
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a set of particles with heterogeneous structures that have different functions due to various compounds including surface charge, size, lipid, and protein compounds. Several prospective epidemiological studies have demonstrated that there is a clear inverse relationship between serum HDL concentration and risk of coronary heart disease, despite this relationshi...
متن کاملDoes Raising High-Density Lipoprotein Matter?
The well-documented capacity of alcohol consumption to increase levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol1 has generated attempts to assess the extent to which this effect might contribute to the reduced incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) that has been observed in moderate consumers of alcohol.2 Several reports based on multiple regression models in observational cohort studie...
متن کاملSingle Low-Density Lipoprotein Apheresis Does Not Improve Vascular Endothelial Function in Chronically Treated Hypercholesterolemic Patients
Objective. To investigate vascular endothelial function (VEF) responses to a single low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis session in hypercholesterolemic patients undergoing chronic treatment. Methods. We measured brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), plasma lipids, vitamin E (α- and γ-tocopherol), markers of oxidative/nitrative stress (malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitro-γ-tocopherol (NG...
متن کاملHigh density lipoprotein--quality and function.
Introduction Atherosclerosis is a focal disease of the large and medium sized arteries in areas of disturbed blood flow caused by endothelial injury, dysfunction and local inflammation [1]. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of death in western countries and in developing countries it accounts for over 4.5 million deaths annually [2]. Dyslipidaemia has been identified as a ma...
