High - Density Lipoprotein and Atherosclerosis Regression
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are typically defined as lipoprotein particles with buoyant densities from 1.063 to 1.21 g/mL and having apolipoprotein AI (apoAI) as the major apolipoprotein species. It has become increasingly appreciated that the HDL population consists of a collection of particles with diverse sizes, structures, and composition and functional properties that are thought to in...
متن کاملStatins, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and regression of coronary atherosclerosis.
CONTEXT Statins reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and slow progression of coronary atherosclerosis. However, no data exist describing the relationship between statin-induced changes in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and disease progression. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between changes in LDL-C and HDL-C levels and atheroma burden. DESIGN, S...
متن کاملRelationship between High-Density Lipoprotein and C-reactive Protein in Patients with Atherosclerosis
Abstract Background and Objective: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease mostly caused by oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDLs) while High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) oppose atherosclerosis by inhibiting the oxidation of LDLs. Serum concentration of C- reactive protein (CRP) also increases as an acute phase protein in inflammatory conditions like atherosclerosis. We aimed to evalu...
متن کاملHigh-density lipoprotein and atherosclerosis regression: evidence from preclinical and clinical studies.
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles transport (among other molecules) cholesterol (HDL-C). In epidemiological studies, plasma HDL-C levels have an inverse relationship to the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It has been assumed that this reflects the protective functions of HDL, which include their ability to promote cholesterol efflux. Yet, several recent pharmacological an...
متن کاملThe prevention and treatment effects of egg yolk high density lipoprotein on the formation of atherosclerosis plaque in rabbits
Objective(s): Atherosclerosis is the main leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential preventive effect of egg yolk HDL on the atherosclerosis plaque formation. Materials and Methods: Thirty rabbits were divided into five groups: A; normal diet, B; hyper-cholesterolemic diet, C; hypercholesterolemic + 400 mg/kg egg yolk HDL D; hypercholesterol...
