Triglycerides and HDL Cholesterol
D iabetes carries a high risk of atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease, especially coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, is by far the leading cause of death among patients with type 2 diabetes. Although statins reduce the risk of major vascular events by about one-fifth per millimole per liter reduction in LDL cholesterol, with similar proportional reductions in major coronary events,...
متن کاملElevated triglycerides/HDL-cholesterol ratio associated with insulin resistance.
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death worldwide and insulin resistance (IR) plays an important role for its development. In addition, IR has been associated with hypertension and metabolic syndrome according to the triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol (TGL/HDL) ratio. We undertook this study to determine whether the TGL/HDL ratio is associated with IR in apparently healthy subjec...
متن کاملLifestyle approaches and dietary strategies to lower LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and raise HDL-cholesterol.
This article discusses specific dietary factors as well as dietary patterns that affect the major coronary heart disease (CHD) lipid risk factors (ie, LDL-C, HDL-C, and TG). Based on a very large evidence base, it is clear that diet and lifestyle practices can markedly affect these major CHD lipid risk factors, and consequently decrease CHD risk substantively.
متن کاملTriple lipid screening test: a homogeneous sequential assay for HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides.
BACKGROUND The analysis of lipids in serum lipoprotein fractions is useful in assessing the risk for coronary artery disease, but it typically involves performing multiple tests. An automated single-tube assay, referred to as the triple lipid screening (TLS) test, can be used for measuring HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol, and triglycerides (TGs) with no specimen pretreatment. METHO...
متن کاملHigh triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol and blood pressure and risk of ischemic heart disease.
Treatment of high blood pressure (BP) has not produced the expected reduction in risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD). Subjects with high BP often have the metabolic syndrome X, an aggregation of abnormalities in glucose and lipid metabolism. We tested the hypothesis that the BP level would be less predictive of risk of IHD in those with high triglycerides (TG) and low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), ...
