IMPACT OF HIGH SERUM HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN (HDL) LEVEL AND CORONARY ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION

The 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...

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...

Study of Serum Paraoxonase and High Density Lipoprotein Fractions in Diabetes

Objective: Significant alteration in lipid profile and antioxidant system occurs in response to diabetes mellitus (DM). Paraoxonase (PON) is a family of three enzymes PON1, PON2 and PON3 associated with high density lipoprotein (HDL). The HDL in human plasma consists of two main sub-fractions HDL2C and HDL3C. We studied the HDL subclasses and HDL associated enzyme paraoxonase with respect to di...
